Does Overdose Of Piriton Harm An Infant?
Me and my husband had accidentally given my 15 month old 10ml of piriton between 10pm and 1pm I didn t know my husband had put 6ml in his last bottle so out some in the one I made, he weighs at least 26lb (last weighed 2 months ago) he has been unwell for a few days with a virus and a temperature. Will this double does harm him and should I take him to A & E ?

Hi...usually this will make him sleep slightly more than his usual pattern. But you also need to look for other dangers signs like inappropriately high heart rate and listlessness and slowing down of respiration's. If these are not there, you need not worry. I suggest you be on the look out for these symptoms. If these appear approach the nearest emergency room.
