Brief Answer:
The dose is not high but augmentin is not appropriate for typhoid
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to the HCM
I understand your concerns but don't worry. The dose is not high for his age and weight. But for typhoid the treatment is not appropriate.
I would recommend you to post his reports for my reference and his clinical symptoms (during illness and after treatment), so that I could guide you in the best possible way to treat him.
Take care
