A 3-year-old boy, Xiao Hua (not his real name), mistook the medicine his grandmother put on the table as "sugar pills" when playing at home a few days ago. After taking several pills, he felt unwell. His family sent him to the pediatric department of Changsha Central Hospital for emergency treatment. After the doctor actively targeted the symptoms, the child recovered and left the hospital.

Xiaohua's grandmother, Granny Li, took levothyroxine sodium tablets all the year round according to the doctor's advice. She didn't put them away after taking them that day and put them on the table in the living room. When Xiaohua got them, she mistook them for "sugar pills" and took many pills.

"When the child was admitted to hospital, he had clinical symptoms of hyperthyroidism, such as high fever, rapid heart rate, emotional tension and excitement. The examination showed that lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase isoenzyme in myocardial enzyme were increased, indicating myocardial injury; In addition, the child's thyroid hormone level has increased, which is at risk of thyroid crisis, and has secondary incomplete intestinal obstruction and other drug poisoning manifestations. " Wang Manzhi, director of pediatrics and chief physician of the hospital, said that after the department actively gave symptomatic treatment, the child recovered well.
