A member asked:

Son needed to have 4 ml of azithromycin. i only got 3 in him (spat out some). should i give him 1 more ml? won't have enough for last dose if i do.

Complete course: When giving antibiotics, it is important to complete the entire course prescribed by your pediatrician. You should not re-dose if your son spit some out because of concern for over-dosing. If you won't have enough to complete the last dose, ask your pediatrician to call in an additional amount to the pharmacy so you can complete the course.
