School forgot to give medication

Daughter comes home from school and says that they forgot to give her her dose of antibiotics today at school.

When dad collected the teacher said oh I'm sorry, and turned to my daughter and said 'Did you remind any of the staff today to give it to you?'

Now I'm a pretty chill mum, and whilst not the end of the world as she's had the second dose when she got home, It's kind of not the point.

AIBU for being annoyed they turned the blame to my child asking if she reminded them (7 yo)?!

I'm inclined to just leave it but part of me wonders if that had been a diabetes medication for example that had been forgotten it might have been different outcome.

WWYD?

YABVU to compare an antiobiotic to insulin. Give your child the médecine at home.

She doesnt need a dose at school then. You need to look at the timings she is getting the doses.

How many doses does she need a day that she has to have one at school? Can you change the times of giving them?

Antibiotics can be given before school, straight after and bedtime. I wouldn't be worrying about this.
