POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 months agoA. If your 2-year-8-month-old child has accidentally taken Levolin (Levosalbutamol) and is showing unusual oral responses, it’s important to act quickly and carefully.
What is Levolin?
Levolin is a bronchodilator used to treat conditions like asthma or wheezing. It works by relaxing the airway muscles. It’s usually given through inhalation or syrup, but accidental overdose can cause side effects.
If your child is showing oral symptoms or abnormal response: 1. Identify Symptoms of Overdose or Reaction:
Look for:
Fast heartbeat (palpitations) Trembling or shaking hands Restlessness or irritability Drowsiness or confusion Vomiting or upset stomach Unusual talking or excessive activity Trouble breathing (rare but serious) 2. Keep the Child Calm Don’t panic—comfort your child and keep them calm and seated upright. Avoid giving more food or medicine unless a doctor advises. 3. Seek Medical Help Immediately Call your pediatrician or go to the nearest emergency room, especially if your child is: Unusually drowsy or hyperactive Having difficulty breathing Vomiting or not responding properly
Tell the doctor:
How much Levolin was taken What form (syrup, inhaler, etc.) When it was taken Your child's weight and current symptoms 4. Do Not Try to Induce Vomiting
Unless advised by a medical professional, do not make the child vomit.
Important:
Even a small overdose can affect small children more severely, especially with medications like Levolin. It’s always safest to consult a doctor immediately in such cases.
