Hello, dosage of ofloxacin in a child is given according to weight and not by age of child. Secondly, urine culture is showing e.coli more than 60000 colonies per ml but we have to look at the complete report like organism is sensitive and resistant to which antibiotics. I think that you should revert back with exact weight of child and complete report of urine culture test. Good day.
