Dr. George Klauber answered

Specializes in Pediatric Urology

Call poison control: 1-800-222-1222 for advice. May develop nausea & vomiting, mental changes, headache or drowsiness. Later could develop a rash, severe vaginal bleeding or breast tenderness & possibly other effects. This could be very serious and should not be shrugged off or taken lightly., .
