A boy has been prescribed Amoxicillin for his ear infection. It is in the liquid form. I've started a nursing course, so I wonder if my calculations are correct: Amoxicillin 400mg/5L BNF says up to 30mg/kg, 3 times daily The boy weighs 23 kg 23 x 30 ...

So would you say the dosage is to high? It is purely my calculations, for my essay...

Thank you!
