T49.6X1A
ICD-10-CMPoisoning by otorhinolaryngological drugs and preparations, accidental (unintentional), initial encounter
This code signifies an accidental overdose or adverse reaction to medications specifically used for ear, nose, and throat conditions. This includes situations where a patient unintentionally takes too much of an ENT drug, or experiences an unintended harmful effect from its use.
Apply this code when a patient presents with symptoms of poisoning due to an ENT-specific medication, such as otic drops, nasal sprays, or oral preparations for throat conditions, and the event was unintentional. This is appropriate for the initial visit for treatment of the poisoning.
