If a child accidentally swallowed 2 fluid-
ounces of FEOSOL Elixir, containing 2⁄ 3
gr of ferrous sulfate per 5 mL, how many milligrams of ferrous sulfate did the child ingest?


Sagot :

Explanation:

Ffeosol sulfate is an iron supplement.. children are susceptible to an overdose..they will get hard stools, push excessively to remove stools,

this depends on the child's weight, and if they hav had lost or gained weight during prognosis. if under 20lbs, they should get 5mil(1tsp) ..

if over 20lbs. should get 2 tsp..

guessing that child ingested 2oz that would equal 4 tsp of iron..

3 tsp = 1 tablespoon, so child ingested 1 & a half tsps of iron...

dont think it's dangerous, but should watch 4 reactions...
