Amoxicillin missed dose

I'm having a bit of a flap. DS 3 was prescribed amoxicillin for ear infection and i set an alarm to give it him at midnight cause he started so late yesterday. The alarm didn't wake me of course so I've only just woke up.

Starting from yesterday hes had:

12:30pm 5ml

6pm 5ml

4:30am 5ml

Now I'm worried because it said 3 times in a day but I waited so long to give it him Sad

When would i start with the next dose?

As soon as he wakes up.
Don't stress, it really isn't a big deal.

I’m a frequent flyer with having to give my children anti b’s and I have never woken them in the night to administer !
Just give it to him when he wakes in the morning , then at lunchtime and teatime tomorrow . He will be complete fine.

Thank you both. So if I did maybe 10am today would that be ok? Then 3pm, 11pm. I am giving them so late as hes in school on monday so we thought we'd space it around school. Then starting tomorrow do 7am, 3pm, 11pm.

11pm?
Why so late, surely he's asleep then?
Do breakfast, as soon as he's home from school and before bed.

I guess just so that they were evenly spaced apart was my thought process but I'll start giving just before bed.
