A member asked:
Do i need to wake my baby up for her amoxicillin? she went to bed earlier tonight. on day 5 of antibiotics.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Amoxicillin: You do not indicate why your baby is receiving antibiotics, but after 5 days I would suspect that missing one dose is not likely to be seriously detrimental. This depends on her age, her symptoms, whether she is feeding and acting normally when awake, whether she has fever. These are best addressed by her pediatrician.
