A member asked:

6mo baby took 22oz of formula plus 2 ounces of solids (bananas and green peas). she's on amoxicillin for ear infection. should i wake her for more?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Amoxicillin is typically given 3x/day, it does not have to be exactly every 8 hrs. You can space it so the patient can receive a dose in the morning, at lunchtime and then at dinner time
