Usual dosage for oflaxacin suspension is 10-15 mg per kg body weight in two divided doses (12 hrly). However under normal circumstances this medicine is avoided for child under 1 year. However attending doctor is the best judge.

Is the doctor pediatrician or general physician? Generally ciprofloxacin and sister drugs of same class are avoided in growing children as they can damage cartilage growth.
