Good morning Doc! My 3 month old baby was given domestol since she was puking after each feed. Is it dangerous to give med in 7 hrs gap? If so what will happen? I was asked to give in 8 hrs gap but since the last feed got skipped I gave her by mistake in 7 hrs gap.

No nothing will happen. It will not cause any problem. You can give the medicine 3 times a day. its the total dose in a day which matters and causes toxicity. Dont give the medicine more than 3 times in a day. ask your doctor if the medicin eis not working but not increase the dose by yourself.
