The right dose and never more than, sentence 10
If a child swallows pills by mistake, a grown-up calls NHS 111, the health advice phone line, or a poisons service, or 999 if the child is unwell, and brings the packet; making yourself sick is not the right thing.
Who acts: child, making · What happens: swallow, grow up, call, be, bring, make · To what, where: pills, NHS, packet, yourself, right thing · Speech: someone speaks here
