Young children especially younger than 5 which includes the toddlers may experience overdoses especially that of drugs or medications as they are curios and they place all that they find in their mouth.There are times though that it is because someone may left a medication within their reach. Some actions the nurse can implement while waiting for a medicine specialist to treat the child is to keep the patient lying in a left lateral position. Another would be not inducing vomiting if acids or alkali has been ingested. Also observe the patient especially other signs and symptoms to inform the doctor right away.
