Prednisone 5mg Taken By A 2 Year Old
UpdatedMy sister dropped a bottle of prednisone 5mg, she counted the pill and believes there are 2 pills missing, but is not sure. My 2-year-old was near her and we don't know if she swallowed one or not. What can I give her to ensure safety?

Hello, Kelly! How is your daughter? Did she experience any adverse effects?
Any time you are concerned about the health, welfare and life of a child, you should consult emergency services.
Taking too much of this medication could result in overdose conditions, according to FDA reports, which might include elevated blood pressure, and heart rate, either of which could cause possibly fatal issues.
