Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Are The Side Effects Of Accidental Intake Of Hydrocodone By Infant?
y friend called me and said that she was breaking her hydrocone in half because she only takes a half of one at a time, and a few tiny pieces fell onto the table where her toddler was sitting. 19 months old. And she turned around for a second to grab a paper towel and her son put his hand on the pieces then put his hand in his mouth. She seen the pieces on his tounge. Quickly washed his tounge then made him drink lots of water. They were very tiny pieces, and he s been acting normal all day. Can he die from that, or any harmful side affects? What should she do? Again very very tiny pieces.
Don't worry and ask your friend also not to worry. Such a small dose which was barely absorbed shouldn't cause any trouble for the child. But in the future, asl your friend not yo handle her medications around her child.
Best wishes.
