- Bleeding that’s uncontrollable
- Refusal or inability to move or stand
- Unusually body temperature
- Seizures
- Lost consciousness
- Excessive vomiting or severe diarrhea

If you’re seeing any of these symptoms but in a mild form, please call our hospital at (972) 530-3951 and we can advise on the next steps.
