About two hours ago my child ate about 1/3 of a 325mg aspirin. He threw most of it up. I had him drink as much water as I could get him to and he still seems fine. Hes playing and eating and hasnt developed a fever or anything. Should I still take him into er or is he going to be okay?
Hello. I just read through your question. Firstly, the amount of aspirin taken is not toxic, so there is little need for worry. Additionally, the fact that he through up indicates that the aspirin likely never entered his bloodstream in the first place. Finally, his behavior since the ingestion is perfectly normal, indicating that he is fine. Therefore, there is no need to have him checked at an ER and you do not have to worry.
