My son is on penicillin antibiotics for streptococcus. Unfortunately, we forgot a dose, the one from this morning.

It is not recommended to double up on a missed dose of antibiotics. If the next dose is coming soon, just continue with the regular schedule. Giving the missed dose late could increase the risk of side effects without adding any benefit to its effectiveness. If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out.
