Skin reaction medicine

Question

Asked for Female, 0 Years

Hello doctor, My baby is 8weeks (2months old)..he has skin reaction may be kind of hives. So pediatrician has given 5drops of ZYRTEC (CETIRIZINE) for 7days once in the evng. But, by mistake I put 0.6ml counting each drop 0.1ml. Yesterday only one day I have put. I hope no problem to the baby as I have given overdose? As CETIRIZINE recommended after 6months but because of hives doctor has given this. What shall I do now. Shall I reduce the dosage today by giving less or stop for one day? I hope no serious side effects will happen in one day as he is just 2months because of my mistake. He is having lot of sleep after medicine was given. I am exclusively breastfeeding him.
