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.

The prescribed dosage of 10 ml of Augmentin DDS syrup twice a day is generally safe for your son given his age and weight for treating sinusitis.

🩺 Dosage Safety

  • Augmentin DDS Syrup contains amoxicillin 400 mg and clavulanic acid 57 mg per 5 ml; 10 ml twice daily provides 800 mg amoxicillin and 114 mg clavulanic acid per dose.
  • For children around 33 kg, this dose falls within typical recommended ranges for bacterial sinusitis treatment.
  • It is important to give the syrup with food to reduce stomach upset and complete the full prescribed course to ensure effectiveness.

  • Watch for any allergic reactions such as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
  • Note any severe diarrhea or unusual symptoms and report them promptly.

🩺 Next Steps
