Hi....its 40mg/kg/day of Amoxycillin base in 2 divided doses. So if the kid is 10kg, the dose is 5ml twice a day. You can calculate based on the above method.
If you can get back with the weight, I can guide you through. You cannot understand what I have explained, kindly post a direct query and I will be glad to help.
