Confused

DS is nearly 4. We went out last night, DS has been ill this week.

When we got home last night FIL said DS informed him hr needed medicine. DS told him he needed 2 lots. FIL didn't read the label, just let DS do it Confused

He had 10 ml instead of 5. He's still asleep.

I'm worried about him.

If you are worried, call NHS Direct.

He will be fine, it's still less than the daily amount. He's effectively has two doses instead of one. Just don't give anymore today.
