Always use the oral suspension (liquid) form of amoxicillin for a 10-month-old. Never give a child a tablet meant for adults.
Carefully follow the doctor’s instructions for dosage. Use the provided measuring device, not a household spoon, to ensure accuracy. Incorrect measurement can impact treatment.
Gently shake the bottle well before each dose to mix the medication evenly. This prevents uneven concentration.
Administer the medicine using a syringe or medicine dropper. This ensures your baby gets the full dose. You can mix it with a small amount of breast milk or formula to mask the taste if needed.
Give the medication at evenly spaced intervals, as prescribed. Maintain a consistent schedule for best results. Missing doses reduces efficacy.
Always consult your pediatrician if your child experiences any adverse reactions, such as diarrhea, rash, or vomiting. Report these promptly.
Store the amoxicillin as directed on the label, usually in the refrigerator. Discard any leftover medication after the prescribed course is complete.
If you have any questions or concerns about administering the medication, contact your pediatrician or pharmacist immediately for clarification.
