Is two (2) teva amoxicillin pills every 8 hours (3000 mgs/day) for acute otitis media (ear infection) considered an overly strong dose ?

Hello, Peggy! How are you?

That is a high dose, but it really depends on how severe your infection is, your doctor can adjust as needed if it is a very severe infection.

The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin and diarrhea.

Has there been any improvement, yet?
