Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
I advise you to stop giving further doses of that antibiotic.
Consult your pediatrician for the examination of the child and to look for any symptoms of over dosage of that drug.
Give plenty of oral fluids to maintain his hydration.
Consult the pediatrician as early as possible for further management.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
