A Chinese couple brings their 4-year-old, 19-kg daughter to the emergency department (ED). She was seen in the same ED 2 days earlier and was diagnosed with a pulmonary infection. During her previous visit, she was prescribed erythromycin 200 mg, 1 teaspoon every 6 hours for 10 days. The parents are concerned that their daughter is not well yet. They bring the bottle of liquid erythromycin with them in a plastic bag, along with a porcelain soup spoon that is the size of a tablespoon. The bottle is almost half empty.
