No this isn't a thread meant for Good Housekeeping! DD has been on penicillin for a wound on her toe that got infected. She was taking her penultimate dose today when the bottle got knocked over and smashed and so she's missed her final two doses.

Will this cause probs. I'm always hearing of problems when people don't finish their antibiotic course but I'm not sure what those problems actually are.

Her toe looking much better - the nail is bruised and I think it will drop off but in general it is healing although this wasn't helped when she dropped a plate on it yesterday and grazed it a bit.

Yes, we are a bit accident prone at the moment.

i did this with ds, phoned the doc who said that he'd had 5 days (out of 7) the infection had cleared up and not to worry!

what i want to know is how do i get it out the carpet?!?! lol

sure she'll be fine if theres only 2 doses left but prob best to phone docs just in case!
