Amoxicillin Dosage 64 Lb. 11 Year Old

My son's pediatrician prescribed Amoxicillin 400mg/5ml, 3 teaspoons every 12 hours to treat strep throat. Is this the correct dosage? Sounds like a lot.

Hello, Suzie! How are you and your son?

At his age, according to the FDA dosing instructions, it is actually dosed by weight, so you should follow his doctor's instructions.

Possible side effects are listed as including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?
