Question
Hello doctor, my 2-year-old son has a runny nose, he mixed up 1 pack of Augmentin 500 by mistake, so should he continue taking it, doctor? Thank you doctor.

Hello Ms. Diep, she only takes antibiotics when there are all signs of infection, so you don't need to give her Augmentin antibiotics again.
Thank you for asking questions to Vinmec.com website. Best regards.
