Hi,
Amoxicillin is used in treating lower respiratory tract infections, ear infections, ulcers etc. Dose is based on the weight and age of the child. Also dose is decided depending upon the extent of infection. In mild to moderate infections a maximum dose of 25 milligrams/2.2 pounds body weight is taken in two divided doses. IN severe infections 45 milligrams/ 2.2 pounds body weight in two divided doses is taken. You need to speak to your doctor as he has examined your child and can only give the exact information on the dose required in his case. Best.
