Has a doctor prescribed it for him?

The dosage does vary, by age and weight, but yes, it is commonly used to treat infections in children. It is very important to treat an infection, so it doesn't worse and cause further health problems.

It may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.
