Hi & Welcome to HCM


I can understand your concern regarding accidental ingestion of thyronorm by your daughter.

Incomplete data: The dosage of the tablet ingested, any symptoms she has developed?

If accidentally ingested in larger doses most individuals usually develop symptoms like fast heart rate, vomiting, irritability and hyper alert state. Usually they don't need hospitalization but if any of these symptoms occur, a visit to ER is recommended.

So, you need not have to worry about it. If he has swallowed one or two tablets, it’s not a cause for concern. Just keep a watch for the symptoms described above. He will be alright.

Hope to have answered your query.
Regards
