A member asked:
My 67#son has ear infection and was prescribed amoxicillin chewable .. what should his dose be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dosage is based on weight for a child, and without posting his weight your question cannot be answered. I'm confident your child's physician took this into consideration when prescribing the antibiotic.
