Please stay calm. While a 25 ml dose of this antibiotic (cefpodoxime and potassium clavulanate) is higher than prescribed, serious toxicity is rare. Do not induce vomiting. Give your child a few sips of water to rinse their mouth. Contact your pediatrician or local poison control center immediately. Share your child's weight and the medicine's strength so they can advise you precisely. Meanwhile, monitor your child for side effects like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. If they develop severe vomiting, allergic reactions, or breathing difficulties, seek emergency medical help right away.
