How To Treat For Amoxacillin Overdose For A 3 Years Old?

my son almost 3, weighs 38 pounds. He is on amoxacillin 1.5 tsp q 12 hours for an ear infection - started last night. My babysitter accidently gave 1.5 tbs instead of 1.5 tsp this am. What should I do? He is showing no signs/symptoms of overdose - would I alter his dose tonight? skip it?
