The dose of Amotaks Dis 500 mg (one tablet twice a day) is correct for a child weighing 14 kg. In the treatment of bacterial pharyngitis, 40 to 90 mg of antibiotic / kg body weight per day can be administered in divided doses, in this case from 560 to 1260 mg per day depending on the severity of the infection and the patient's condition (the son takes a dose of 1000 mg per day, which falls within this range). Amotaks Dis contains the same antibiotic as Amoksiklav, but if the doctor knew that this drug had already been used before, then there were probably no contraindications to the administration of the same drug in the current infection.
