How many teaspoons of amoxicillin should i give my 28 lb son? it's a 400mg/5ml bottle and he has a sinus infection.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What the doc said: Antibiotics are a prescription medication, prescribed at a dose based on problem and the weight of the kid. The instructions would be on the label and the amount dependent on the concentration of the drug. Treatment without verification or using old medication is unlikely to benefit anyone.
