My 2 1/2 year old 28lb daughter was prescribed amoxicillin 400mg/5ml at a dose of 10ml twice a day for an ear infection. im worried the dose is high; does this dose seem correct?

The dose for treatment of an ear infection is typically 80 -90 mg per kg per day. The dose is a bit high. Discuss with your Pediatrician. A dose of 6. 3 ml twice daily is an option for similar patients, based on weight. In the meantime, watch for signs of fever and worsening pain.
