Hi Momma-

When in doubt...throw it out!

I would be concerned...particularly with an infant...that you would not be sure about how much of the 'active' ingredient you are giving.

Best Luck!

I would say no, not worth the risk, but I agree with TwinMama - call the pharmacist.

I wouldn't use that. I agree, call the pediatrician nurse or a pharmacist!

Im going to guess no... Call a pharmacy like walgreens and ask the pharmacist they will tell you.

I read on Babycenter ( I think) that you shouldn't use meds past the use by date, if they are crystalized or obviously adult meds for kids even if a smaller dose. If there is crystallization around the cap where it screws on it might be that you didn't wipe around the edges and it's just hardened, so wipe it away - but if it's in the bottle I wouldn't use it - could be the heat if the product isn't too old. I agree though - what is $10? for a repeat purchase, compared to making bubba sick - throw it out! You'll feel terrible if they get more sick - even if it's not from the meds you gave.
