My DD6 was given Flucloxacillin 125/5 on Sunday for a hairline fracture on her big toe which was looking like it was infected.
A&E gave us the antibiotics - 10ml dose 4 x per day. They said that we will need a further bottle from GP to complete the course.
Of course these things are never straight forward - requested this from GP on Tuesday, GP said no record of this from A&E. So Wednesday (on my day off) I go to the hospital, get the discharge note and deliver it in person to the GP at 9am.
Chased at 3pm still no antibiotics - DD has now gone nearly a full day without the medicine.
Chased again this morning, and GP wanted to see the picture of the box given by A&E. Sent it through. Just got a phone call which said that the GP cannot issue as the dose is not correct. I've just looked at the discharge note and the dose actually says 5ml per dose. My DD is absolutely tiny and is still in 3-4 year clothes even though she is 6.
GP surgery won't give me anymore details until they speak with Doctor.
Should I be worried that my DD has potentially taken a full 5 day course of antibiotics in just 2.5 days?
Toe is looking much better and the swelling/redness has really gone down - not surprisingly really 🙄
