Is the dosage of 2 x 5 ml of Amotaks 500mg/5ml suitable for a child weighing 30 kg?
Amotaks 500mg/5ml suspension, my son weighs 30 kg, he got an antibiotic for the sinuses, dosage 2x 5ml, it seems to me that this is probably not enough, what dose should the child get 3x 5 ml?

According to the recommendations, 75 to 90 mg amoxicillin/kg body weight/day in 2 divided doses are usually used for the treatment of acute bacterial sinusitis in children weighing less than 40 kg. That is, for a child weighing 30 kg, a dose of 2250 to 2700 mg/day can be used. There is 1000 mg of amoxicillin in 10 ml of suspension, so this dose is not within the recommended limit.
It's a good idea to contact your doctor and make sure that the dosage has been chosen correctly - there may be a reason why your doctor indicated the use of a lower dose.
