Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and duration. Amoxicillin suspension 250mg is a common antibiotic for children, treating bacterial infections like ear infections, pneumonia, and strep throat. Store the suspension in the refrigerator after reconstitution.
Shake the bottle well before each dose to ensure even distribution of the medication. Use the provided measuring device to administer the correct amount. A dosage spoon or syringe is usually included.
Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. If your child experiences severe or persistent side effects, contact your doctor immediately.
Important: Amoxicillin is only effective against bacterial infections; it won’t treat viruses like colds or the flu. Complete the entire course of medication, even if symptoms improve, to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.
Before administering amoxicillin, check the expiration date on the bottle. Discard any unused medication after the expiry date. Keep the suspension out of reach of children.
Inform your doctor about any allergies, particularly penicillin allergies, before starting treatment. Your doctor may recommend alternative antibiotics if there are allergy concerns.
