Morning, I just accidentally gave my 34 month old 10ml of amoxicillin instead of 5ml. He should be taking 5ml 3 x a day. We r near the end of the bottle, I don t know what I was thinking! Too early obviously! Do I need to worry as it was a once off? Thank you
Hello, amoxicillin can be given at higher than usual doses for more severe infections, so I wouldn't expect anything serious. Despite that taking high doses increases the risk for side effects. If your child develops symptoms of any kind, you should consult the pediatrician. I hope I've answered your question. Please let me know if you need further assistance. Kind Chat Doctor.
