On looking up this drug all I can find is that for children the dosage goes by weight and there may be side effects .I think you should speak again to your doctor regarding the dose .

Under absolutely positively NO circumstances should you be providing cylndamycin to a two year old except upon the explicit instructions of a physician. A pharmacist is not the person to call.

Oh, I'd call your doctor or talk to the pharmacist.  The proper dosage is often written on a bottle for a child when prescribed.  Is it not there?  If this is someone else's medicine, I wouldn't do that.  Every two year old needs their own prescription of medicine.  good luck, call the doc or pharmacist
