Antibiotics - what to do?



ORIGINAL POST
Posted by Kwis 17 yrs ago
I did something really stupid and forgot to give the last dosage to my son today. I know that you're supposed to finish the course. Question is whether or not I can give it to him tomorrow morning still... or to just let it be?


Another stupid thing I did was forgot to put the antibiotics in the fridge. Would that have affected it somehow and maybe I should not give it to him anymore?

I would call the nurse or doctor and ask.

1. although it is best to complete the full course, stopping and starting antibiotics is worse than short cutting a course, so best to stop altogether, as I guess your son must be better.

2. The course is taken over a few days, so rarely will antibiotics ‘go off’ when not kept cooled. This may be an issue though in hot summer.
