A. a single heavy dose for the child should not cause any major problem. there is a possibility that the child might have vomiting. it will be single episodex and then it should stop. on the side effects part it may not be that much relevant so no need to worry. it is important that in the future you should give proper quantity to xthe child in case of medicines

A. hello the baby is doing all fine not a problem but be careful not to repeat the mistake again and also you should not use the nail drop that is used by one for another as the infection can increase in some cases and any discomfort for it would be better to check with your doctor immediately
