To give a background info ds has been ill last 1-2 weeks with chicken pocks and yesterday was physically sick and today with a sore throat...
Today dd started with chicken pocks.
I have been recording what/when/how much medicine I have given to both BUT stupidly I think I have lost track...
I have written down the last dose of Ibuprofen to ds was 4.30pm, he's just woke crying and in pain with his throat so I have started on another does (thinking last medicine was at 4.30pm and calpol..) BUT stopped after 3ml as had a bad feeling about the dose..
Im now worrying that I gave ibuprofen inbetween at 6.30pm. (I recall dd being up BUT she did go to bed at 4.45pm till about 6 so I may have done it before at 4.30 or I may have done it also at 6.30)
Oh god I feel so fecking stupid and bad.
So basically what do I do..? I think some/all medicines are dosed so that you need ALOT to overdose..but how much..?
I may have given ds either 13ml in 4.5 hrs or 8 ml in 4.5 hrs...
Recommended dose is 15 ml in 24 hrs...(4 hourly..)
Im currently awaiting NHS direct calling me back....
I think (hope...) I have given him right amount but how do I do if I haven't...?
