Does Overdose Of Amoxicillin Be Safe To A 5 Week Old For Hydronephrosis?
Hello, our 5 week old has hydronephrosis of the left kidney and was prescribed amoxicillin (take 1.4 ML daily). We refill the prescription every week and last week they changed the prescription to .8 because they upped it to 250MG/5ML. We didn t realize until we needed it refilled that we were only supposed to do .8 so we have been overdosing (1.4 ML) for the past week. What should we do?

1.4 ml means you are giving 70 mg of Amoxicillin , for a normal wt baby , and normal renal functions , it is not harmful .
