Pretty standard: The dosing is up to 80-90 mg/kg/day to cover for resistant pneumococcus.This dose would be expected for a kid weighing 15-16 lb.

Both sons are on amoxicillin (5 months for an ear infection & 2.5 years for strep). My husband and I are both allergic to amoxicillin (rashes). We told the doctor this but they were still prescribed. Would severe reaction happen immediately? Nervous?
