5ml (a teaspoon) x 7 days = 35 ml, if this is nursing school homework. In real life, a little more is a good idea to account for wastage. Any parent who's had a baby spit a mouthful of Tylenol on him knows that.

35 ml
1 teaspoon = 4.92892159375 mL.

Hi! 1 tsp is 5 ml so in a week's time, 35 ml is consumed. To be accurate, it is better to use a dropper in measuring the exact amount. Using a household teaspoon is accurate since some teaspoons are bigger or smaller than others.
