Should a child be taken to a doctor after ingestion of a muscle relaxer?
Patient: Hi, my daughter is 20 months old & I just caught her sucking on a skelextin ( I think is how you spell it), anyway it is a muscle relaxer. She only sucked on it for about a min & I took it away, but she was already spitting it out anyway. Should I take her to the emergency room? What can happen to her? Doctor: IT IS BETTER YOU CONSULT PEDIATRICIAN, HE WILL EXAMINE YOUR CHILD FOR TONE ASSESSMENT, RESPIRATORY AND HR EVALUATIONAND IT S BETTER TO ADMIT THE CHILD FOR THE COUPLES OF HOURSAS CHILD ARE EASILY DETERIORATE...THANK YOU
