Is It Serious To Have Two Doses Of The Medicine At The Same Time?
Hi! My daughter s been prescribed a 5ml does of amoxicillin, and I gave her some. I left for a little while, and my son forgot and gave her another dose. She is six years old. Is this seriously dangerous as a one off? I have her a glass of water afterwards to maybe dilute the effects.

Hello,
But let me tell you that there is nothing to worry as 5 ml Amoxycillin for a six year kid is lower than normal dose so if she has been given 10 ml at a time, it's okay and nothing serious will happen, I assure you. But, yes you have to follow the dose advised by the doctor so please take care and give her the dose prescribed by her doctor. Anyway, don't worry she will be fine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
