Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Amoxyclav DS ( augmentin DS ) 7.5 ml 2 times a day is right dose for a 5 + yr child , in severe infection doses more than this may also be given, try do give liquids more, if not able to take , you may get him admitted for IV hydration and if needed antibiotics as well.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
*Always check for history of allergy before taking any medicine.
Wishing your son speedy recovery.
