We present a case of a 7 years old girl who developed an episode of myoclonic movements and tremors after being medicated with a not well quantified amount of a pseudoephedrine/antihistamine combination. We want to highlight the potential toxicity of pseudoephedrine, usually administered as part of cold-syrup preparations which are used for symptomatic treatment of upper respiratory tract cough and congestion associated with the common cold and allergic rhinitis. Although these products are generally considered to be safe either by physicians and parents, we can't underestimate the potential adverse events and toxic effects that can occur when administering these medications.
我们报告一例7岁女孩的病例，该女孩在服用了未精确量化剂量的伪麻黄碱/抗组胺药组合后出现了一阵肌阵挛运动和震颤。我们想强调伪麻黄碱的潜在毒性，它通常作为感冒糖浆制剂的一部分给药，用于对症治疗与普通感冒和过敏性鼻炎相关的上呼吸道咳嗽和充血。尽管医生和家长通常认为这些产品是安全的，但我们不能低估服用这些药物时可能发生的潜在不良事件和毒性作用。
