The dose of the drug was not exceeded. The dosage is established correctly. In acute bacterial infections, 15 mg/kg body weight is administered 2 times a day. Thus, for a child weighing 21 kg, it will be 315 mg of the drug in a single dose. Since the syrup contains 250 mg in 5 ml - in order to take 315 mg of antibiotic, 6.3 ml of syrup should be given - that is, a dose of 6 ml twice a day will be correct.
