The dosage of phenoxymethyl penicillin (i.e. the drug recommended to the son) in children between 1 and 5 years of age (I assume this age based on body weight, please correct me if I am wrong) is 4 x daily 125 mg, i.e. 4 x daily 5 ml. In my opinion, the dosage is correct, but if you still have doubts, you should contact your doctor. I would like to remind you that during antibiotic therapy in children, it is worth using a probiotic cover to avoid post-antibiotic diarrhea. Examples of products, with the possibility of ordering with home delivery (also abroad) can be found in the article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/probiotyki-dla-dzieci I encourage you to read the article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-rozpoznac-i-leczyc-angine
