Should The ER Be Visited After Overdosing On Amoxicillin?
My two month old daughter was prescribed amoxicillin for a possible uti. I was told to give her 1 ml each day. The seringe given by the pharmacy was faulty so the 5 was on the bottom and the 1 was on the top. Anyways I accidentally gave her 5 ml instead of 1 should I take her to the er??? She s not showing any symptoms but I m freaking out!

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
No need to run to the ER. Skip the next 24 hours doses and resume after that. She is fine, no need to worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
