I accidentally gave my 4 and a half year old 10,000IUs of vitamin D3. I was given the wrong bottle at the health food store...I had asked for 1000IUs. He weighs 45lbs. I put it in his yogurt and he only are half when I looked at the bottle and discovered it. Will he be ok from this single dosage?
Welcome to the ChatDoctorI have gone through your question and understand your concerns. But don't worry. Vitamin D3 may lead to toxicity only when given high doses for many days. It's usually rare at the dose you gave to your child. The main consequence of vitamin D toxicity is a buildup of calcium in your blood (hyperkalemia), which can cause poor appetite, nausea and vomiting. Weakness, frequent urination and kidney problems also may occur. At present, just hold on the vitamin D3 Chat Doctor. Everything will be fine. For any further questions, you may contact me. Take care
