Penicillin and toddle help

Hi everyone. This is my first post and hoping someone can help me.

My 2 year old has tonsillitis and she has to have 5ml penicillin 4 x a day, either an hour before food or 2 hours after for 10 days.

This is fairly manageable at home, but the issue is when she goes back to nursery.

I will give her a dose as soon as she gets up at 6.30 and she has breakfast at nursery 7.30/8. Now the problem starts as they snack at 10, lunch at 12, snack at 2 and tea at 4. Some how need to fit 2 doses in around those snack/meal times. Anyone else had the same and can say what’s best to do as going to be a pain with the empty stomach rule. She’ll have her last one before bed.

Thanks in advance xx

I’d ask at a pharmacy just to check that the empty stomach rule is absolutely necessary.

Hope she improve soon Thanks
