Help! chloral hydrate - burned throat
Does anyone know about this old med called chloral hydrate. The dR. prescribed it for sleep. It came in a liquid. I went on the internet and it said to take it with one glass of water or juice. The bottle said to take with plenty of water. I mixed some cranberry juice with the full glass of water. When I took 1 and 2 teaspoons it was OK but didn't help me sleep. I was supposed to take 3- 4 teaspoons as directed but started lower.
then when I took 3 teaspoons - I felt like my throat was on fire and my lips were burning after a third of the glass. Spilled it out. That as 3 days ago and my throat and lips still hurt and burn. Oh - I also have a slight headache ever since.
Mrs. D. - know anything about this? I called the pharmacist and he has no idea what happened/
Thanks.
