A member asked:

Hi. my2.5 yr old was having flu. her doc prescribed 2.5 ml of zerta zine but i accidentally gave her 5 ml. she is asleep now. what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Let her sleep: Not to worry this time. There should be no ill effects. However, use this as a learning experience to be VERY CAREFUL in the future with medications. Give medicines precisely as prescribed to avoid complications in the future. Measure accurately and make sure other caregivers are not administering meds at the same time to avoid double-dosing.
