The dosage given is within the norms of the recommended dosage for children weighing less than 40 kg. Always use the antibiotic as directed by your doctor, because taking a smaller dose or shortening the recommended treatment time may recur the disease and develop antibiotic resistance, which you can read more about here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/blog/antybiotyki-czy-przestana-dzialac I also attach the leaflet of the drug: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/58147/ospamox-proszek-do-wytworzenia-zawiesiny/ulotka
