A member asked:
My child was prescribed 12.5ml amoxicillin once a day for strep...... should this be at least twice a day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Although the treatment of strep throat has traditionally been twice daily, studies have shown that essentially twice the amount of amoxicillin once daily is just as effective in treating the infection
