oh help, just given ds calpol instead of his antibiotic, should I give the antibiotic now or not?

[saadia]

Was being unforgivably absent-minded. Ds1 is taking Calpol for temp, ds2 is on fluclocaxicillin for infected eczema, and by mistake I gave him the Calpol, anyone know if I should give him the antibio or just miss this dose?

no reason why you cant give the AB. they are different drugs so shouldn't have any interactions. It's better to stick with the doseage on ABs as missing a dose can mean the bug can get hold again.

ok, thanks for that info.

Ditto - but might be worth waiting a bit as my DS2 sometimes chucks medicine straight back up (sorry tmi).
