thank you for using healthcare magic.
no it's inappropriate to give a kid augmenting tablet/pill. There's a liquid/solution form of augmentin which you can give your kid. Dosage is based on the kids weight and it's given usually every 12 hours for 7 days (depending on the impression of the doctor). also, giving it with meals is better so as not to produce an upset stomach.
