What is the correct dose of Augmentin ES for a 20 kg child?

The recommended daily dose of Augmentin for children weighing 20 kg (90 mg amoxicillin + 6.4 mg clavulanate) per kilogram of body weight, divided into two doses per day. This means administering approximately 7.5 ml of suspension per administration, twice daily (15 ml per day). It is worth using the included measuring spoon to measure the dose precisely.

However, the exact dosage should be determined by your doctor based on the type of infection and the condition of your child. The dose depends on the severity of the infection, the susceptibility of the infecting microorganism, the patient's condition, age and body weight. Only a doctor can make decisions on this subject, because he knows the health condition of his patient.
Knowledge about age or body weight is insufficient information. Too low a dose may be ineffective and instead of curing, it will only cause bacterial resistance to this antibiotic. Too high a dose can be harmful and cause increased side effects.
