Babies under the age of 3 months receive 30 mg of
amoxicillin each day for every 2.2 lb. of body weight, according to Rx List. Pediatric drops
can be placed directly in the mouth or mixed with baby formula, juice or water, notes Drugs.com.
Older children may take an oral suspension form of amoxicillin that's also bubble-gum flavored. The suspension is manufactured in three strengths: 200 mg/5 ml, 250 mg/5ml and 400 mg/5ml. The strengths reflect the amount of the drug in 5 ml, or 1 tsp.
