Is it dangerous that I accidentally gave my 14-month-old baby their Augmentin DDS liquid medicine every 6 hours instead of every 12 hours for the last 3 or 4 doses?
Giving Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanate) every 6 hours instead of 12 means they received extra doses. The most common side effects from this are temporary stomach upset, diarrhea, or mild diaper rash. To help, space out the next dose to get back on your original 12-hour schedule, and keep your baby well-hydrated with fluids. For peace of mind and advice tailored to your baby's weight, please contact your pediatrician or Poison Control. They are excellent, comforting resources for quick guidance.
