Brief Answer:
This is enough!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

With the germ identified and it being sensitive to most antibiotics, there is no reason to get worried. Amoxicillin will be able to take care of the infection. Your 2years old daughter should be just fine and there is no reason to get disturbed by this. Is she having any symptoms or ill health condition? Most likely no as this is not a commonly transmitted germ compared to others that can be transmitted by simple air movements.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Brief Answer:
1g morning and evening for 7days is okay!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Amoxicillin is okay because it has already shown that the germ is sensitive to it. There is no need changing to get a different drug type as it would be of no added value.

Your daughters symptoms are not related to this. This is more of flu that persons get several times in a year and most cases caused by viruses and not bacteria.

I wish you both well.
