The appropriate dose of amoxicillin for a 31-pound (approximately 14 kg) child typically ranges from 20 to 40 mg/kg/day, depending on the infection being treated. This can be divided into two or three doses throughout the day. Therefore, the total daily dose would be between 280 mg and 560 mg, which should be adjusted based on the specific clinical situation and the prescribing physician's guidance. Always consult a healthcare professional for precise dosing and prescription.
