Pharmacy/Amoxicilan

Question
How much should a 1 1/2yr old take for infections

Answer
    The amount of amoxicillin required to treat an infection is determined by the weight of the child and the type of infection being treated.  The doses vary greatly based on both of these variables.  There is not one standard dose based on age.

Thanks
