What if I give excess Nitasafe Oral Suspension by mistake?

What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Nitasafe Oral Suspension for the prescribed duration?
If the complete dose of Nitasafe Oral Suspension fails to provide relief to your child, it could mean that the medicine is not able to act against the infection-causing microorganism.
