Amoxicillin given for strept throat should preferably given for 10 days as inadequate duration therapy may not clear the strepts completely. the usually dose is 30 to 80 mg per kg body weight per day divided in 3-4 doses. 400/5ml means 400mg in 5 ml. for a child of say 20 kg weight given with dose of 40 mg/kg/day, total dose will be 800mg, or may be around 200mg 4 times a day that is with this preparation it will be 2.5ml 4 times a day. please read the article on sore throat or throat infection at <A href="http://www.pediatricianonline.in">www.pediatricianonline.in</A> feel free to ask any further. your detailed info will help me analyze the situation more better. ** Your email reply won't reach me if you are not in my address book, so do not reply to this email.
