If the suspension has indeed been prepared correctly and you still anticipate that the medicine will run out, you should buy another package of antibiotic - of course, after presenting the situation to the doctor and obtaining a prescription. Antibiotic suspensions are usually less efficient due to their density than the volume on the package indicates - part of the drug can settle on the bottom and walls of the bottle. It is not recommended to end the antibiotic treatment prematurely, as this may lead, for example, to a recurrence of infection. I also send a summary of the correct use of antibiotics: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/antybiotyki
