What happens when children eat too much iron supplements?
Children who take too much iron supplements may have the following adverse reactions:

1. Gastrointestinal discomfort: including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and constipation.

2. Poisoning reaction: Excessive iron intake can lead to poisoning, manifested as headache, dizziness, fatigue, shortness of breath, palpitations and other symptoms. In severe cases, coma and convulsions may occur.

3. Other adverse reactions: such as dry mouth, oral ulcer and itchy skin.

If children take too much iron by mistake, they should seek medical attention immediately. In the process of waiting for medical rescue, you can let your child drink some milk or water to dilute the medicine, but don't force the medicine or spit it out. At the same time, parents should closely observe the changes of children's symptoms and inform doctors of the types and doses of drugs taken by children.
