Is the dose of Amoxicillin correct for a 25 kg child to treat sinusitis?
Hello. I live in the UK. The daughter was given the antibiotic Amoxicillin 250mg/5ml. The doctor recommended administering 10 ml every 8 hours. Is this a good dose for a 25 kg baby? The daughter is 9 years old. I ask because 2 hours after administration my stomach hurts and I do not know if it is a reaction to the drug.

The dose prescribed by your doctor is appropriate. Perhaps the child took the medicine on an empty stomach and therefore got pains, it is better to always give an antibiotic after a meal. In the case of acute bacterial sinusitis in a child, we administer from 20 to 90 mg / kg / day in divided doses. According to the doctor's recommendations, your daughter is to use 10 ml every 8 hours, i.e. 30 ml (or 1500 mg) per day. ... 20 to 90 mg/kg/day if your child weighs 25 kg, then 500 to 2250 mg, i.e. the dose your doctor has prescribed is within the range. When using an antibiotic, it is worth remembering about the shield-probiotic. This will protect us from unpleasant ailments coming from the digestive tract such as diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/probiotyki-czy-warto-stosowac-leki-oslonowe Probiotic, which will be the right choice: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/42092/lacidofil-kapsulki/apteki Through the portal, you can compare the prices of a drug or other preparation available without a prescription in online pharmacies and order the drug with home delivery or collection at the pharmacy.
