My son is 11 years and 8 months old, weighs 33 kg, and has sinusitis. The doctor prescribed Augmentin DDS syrup 10 ml twice a day. Is this dose safe?
If the doctor prescribes Augmentin DDS syrup 10 ml twice daily for your child, it means they have already tailored the dose to your child’s weight, age, and the severity of the sinus infection. Augmentin dosing in children is not fixed; it varies depending on these factors, so it’s important to follow the doctor’s instructions exactly, complete the full course, and monitor for side effects such as rash, diarrhoea, or allergic reactions. If you notice anything unusual or are concerned about the dose, check back with your doctor promptly.
