If you consume tens of thousands of units of vitamin A every day (for example, the concentration ratio of vitamin A and D in a type of cod liver oil is 10:1, and if you take more than 10 drops, the amount of vitamin A is too much), it will cause vitamin A poisoning, and symptoms of poisoning may appear after several months. The early symptoms are irritability and loss of appetite, followed by pain in the limbs, headaches, vomiting, bulging anterior fontanelle, dry hair, cracked lips, and enlarged liver and spleen.

Vitamin D poisoning: Children who are sensitive to vitamin D may develop symptoms of poisoning after 1 to 3 months if they take 4000 international units of vitamin D per day (about 25 drops of concentrated cod liver oil drops with a vitamin A:D ratio of 10:1).
