Hello. The antibiotic cetix was to be prepared by adding 40 ml of water. Unfortunately, only 20 ml was mistakenly added. The recommended dose for a child is 4 ml. Unfortunately, due to an oversight, a dose of 4 ml but diluted suspension in 20 ml of water was given. Is it dangerous? Should I go to the doctor in this situation? It happened once, but I'm terribly worried

Erroneous dilution of the drug resulted in the administration of a higher dose. Doses higher than recommended are associated with an increased risk of side effects.
Monitor your child, if you experience any side effects described in this leaflet (https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/89646/cetix-granulat-do-wytworzenia-zawiesiny/ulotka), report this to your doctor.
According to the Summary of Product Characteristics, the adverse reaction profile observed with ingestion of up to 2 g of cefixime (the active substance in Cetix) in healthy subjects did not differ from that observed in patients treated with the recommended dose.
I am attaching information about the possibility of using teleconsultation if there is a need for urgent consultation with a doctor:
