Question by College Questions: What will happen if I gave my 2 year old 1 half of a 500mg chewable vitamin c tablet?
My 2 year old son has had a very bad cold for the past 2 weeks now, so this morning I gave him a piece of a 500mg (800%daily value)=250mg (approx400%daily value) fruit flavored chewable vitamin c tablet, and now I am beginning to regret it 🙁 What are some possible side effects that he may experience?
Thanks

most likely nothing will happen. It’s pretty hard to overdose on vitamin C. From now on though, I would check with his doctor before giving him anything.
