General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi, i do understand your concern.
I am of the opinion that
1) you have been prescribed correct dosage.
2) If the syrup is about to over get replaced with new one and continue for full course as advised by your physician.
3) You have not mentioned the brand that you used, however a single bottle in most of times will get over by 4 days, so need not panic.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
I find this answer helpful
