Should I continue giving my 2-year-old son (weighing 12.8 kg) his newly prescribed Ibugesic and Taxim O for his sore throat and fever even though he is still in pain, or is it safe to switch him to Augmentin which worked well for him in the past, and what are the correct doses of these medications for his weight?

Please do not switch from Taxim O (cefixime) to Augmentin (amoxicillin-clavulanate) without consulting his pediatrician. Antibiotics take 24 to 48 hours to start working, and swapping them can be unsafe. You can continue giving Ibugesic (ibuprofen) as prescribed to help manage his pain and fever. Because pediatric liquid medications come in various concentrations, the safest dose must be calculated based on the specific bottle strength you have. Please contact his pediatrician to verify the exact dosages for his 12.8 kg weight.
