HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if no related symptoms are there then it is nothing to worry, if it is suspected that child had swallowed the medicine then it need to be take to ER and it can not be taken as granted, there should be no room for doubt and if it is then better to see the ER hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
