Brief Answer:
Feed him water.

Detailed Answer:
HI

Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P


Well I need to know what dose was that tablet Lyrica. Most of them come in 75mg . In that case 1/4th of it is 18mg will not cause any harm to your grandson.

But do let me know the dosage.

Only thing you need to make sure is that the tablet is not struck in his throat. Feed him some water and if he is drinking well then everything is fine.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.
