You treat it as a bookkeeping mistake, and bookkeeping mistakes can be fixed until the final score has been approved. Rule 2-11-11.

The "after the next dead ball" is only part of the rules guideline. The important thing to remember is that the clock has to start before you even begin to start counting the dead balls. Correctable errors can be fixed up to and including the first dead ball after the clock starts after the error was made.
