No specific adverse effects with 3-4 days of double dose. Infant <6months 10mg/day and >6m 20mg/day is the usual dose. However please do follow the pediatrician prescription specifically.
Next Steps
Continue recommended doses of zinc for now.

You should not give dose more than prescribed by your doctor. Now if you already given then watch for any abnormal effects on child. If not just keep monitoring and continue with the actual dose prescribed by the pediatrician. Zinc can cause bad taste vomiting so these can be noticed like fussy eating and nausea . If any new symptom develops consult your pediatrician
