Sharon, the child didn't get the meds until lunch. The dosage thing would confuse me (too hard for my brain to compute) because some meds have different dosages in the same in the same time frame, some it is morning and night while others it is morning, afternoon, and night. My girls were even on an antibiotic that required 4 doses in a day and we were expected to wake them up through the night.
I don't know anything about child's symptoms and the mom hasn't volunteered much information, even though I have send 3 emails asking for more details. I am guessing that she was prescribed antibiotics because she told the doctor her daughter couldn't come to care while she has a fever, step, and pink eye until 24 hours and she needs to go to work. The mom's main concern seems to be when she can bring daughter back to daycare. I don't think she can take much more time off work and her boss is refusing to let her work from home now.
I'll email the mom again tonight, my brain is fried after today's events, can't even think about this it seems so small potatoes now.
