What should I do if I gave the wrong antibiotic to my child?
Hello. The daughter was given an antibiotic. I put it in the fridge after cooking. Unfortunately, my son had taken Amoksilav before and I forgot that he was there. I handed it to my daughter unwillingly, and he was already standing there for a while. I don't know what to do.

In case of incorrect administration of antibiotics to the child, it is recommended to consult a doctor. It is also possible to use the teleadvice offered, m.in. by the Gdziepolek.pl portal: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja It is possible that Amoksiklav has side effects such as irritation of the stomach and intestines or even seizures: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/4789/amoksiklav-400-mg-57-mg-proszek-do-wytworzenia-zawiesiny/apteki In order to avoid similar situations in the future, I encourage you to dispose of unnecessary medicines as soon as possible, in accordance with Applicable regulations: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-i-gdzie-wyrzucac-leki In addition, I encourage you to carefully and repeatedly check the medications administered. This applies to both the type of medicine administered and the dose used. It is best to check the medicine that you give when removing it from the refrigerator, then when measuring the dose of the drug and finally when hiding the preparation. This will minimize the risk of mistakes and, if necessary, allow you to quickly take the necessary action after incorrect administration of the drug (such as inducing vomiting).
