Hi, thank you for posting at HCM.
I read your question very carefully.
Advent and Clavam are the same medicine but they are different trade names. Both are Amoxicillin+Clavulanic acid.
But based on your child age and weight, I think that Advent 228.5mg is more suitable, because Clavam 625mg is a dosage for adults.
So I think you should give him Advent 228.5 mg.
Consult a pediatrician.
Take Care.
