There is no way it could equal 5 mm, since mm is a unit of length and a tsp is a unit of volume.
There is no way it could equal 5 mg either, since mg is a unit of mass and tsp is a unit of volume.
You may be thinking of mL which is a unit of volume. If you are, then 1 tsp(US) is equivalent to 4.929 mL, if however you are speaking of the british teaspoon then 1 tsp (UK) is equivalent to 3.552 mL.
If you are doling out drugs in a pharmacy, please know these conversions well for the safety of all your customers!!!

How many teaspoons are in a milligram?
It depends The answer is "it depends." If we don't know what the teaspoon is holding, then we can't answer the question. That's because a milligram is a unit of WEIGHT, whereas a teaspoon is a unit of volume. So what? you ask. Well, a teaspoon of black pepper will not weigh the same as a teaspoon of iron filings, which will have a different weight than a teaspoon of sugar, which will have a different weight than a teaspoon of tungsten filings or liquid Mercury. Do not confuse WEIGHT with VOLUME. For example, a level teaspoon of table salt has (weighs) about 2300 milligrams. FYI, the recommended daily allowance (RDA) is 2400 milligrams. And average consumption in the USA is 3500 milligrams. Drop the dill pickle and back away! There are 10 milligrams in one teaspoon. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The teaspoon as a volume unit has 5 mL. Mass = volume x density; density is a specific characteristic of any material. So the mass contained in a teaspoon depends on the density.
