Husband had 2 tablespoons of children cold and flu, he weighs 256.we had nothing else.only supposed to take 2teaspoons for 48-95lbs.was that to much?

Probably: He took 3x the dosage you mentioned (3 tsp= 1 tablespoon) an adult dosage usually starts at 100 -120 pounds, 3 teaspoons would probably be an adult dose but would need to know the ingredients and the concentration per teaspoon to give you a more exact answer, .
