Question: Is potassium iodide safe for infants/toddlers?
Answers:
The dosage would have to be carefully calculated by a doctor, and the benefits weighed against the possible dangers (such as overdose). So don't panic and give your kid potassium iodide because of the nuclear scare in Japan. Call your doctor or pharmacist and ask for dosage instructions, but do not administer it unless advised to do so by the relevant authorities.
