What Is The Dosage Of Amoxicillin For Strep Throat?
I have an 8 1/2 year old girl diagnosed with a severe case of strep throat. Dr gave her Amoxicillin and script says to give 19 ML s once daily. Is this the correct dosage. Dr also said she could not have anything cold to eat or drink - only hot liquid or soup.

thank you for using healthcare magic.
that is the wrong way to give amoxicillin. It is usually given every 8 hours in divided doses. Dosage is base on weight. What is the weight of your kid?
