A member asked:

Is 250 mg/5ml amoxicillin 2x a day enough for strep and ear infection? daughter is 9 weighs 76 pounds. we are out of the country. dose seems low. tx!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Low: For something like an ear infection the standard dosing in the US would be 500mg twice a day minimum with some using higher doses if drug resistant pneumococcus was found in the region. I would double your meds for now & seek further care when you can.
