How much Amoxicillin granules should a baby take at one time?

Patient's question:

The baby is four and a half months old, with fever, cough, and runny nose. After a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as bronchitis. The baby weighs about 14 grams.
Previous treatment and effectiveness: Intravenous drip, showing some improvement.
The kind of assistance needed: Asking if it's okay to take Amoxicillin granules? How much should be taken at one time? How many times a day?

Doctor's answer:

This consultant makes an inference based on your baby's condition. It is unknown what caused the tracheitis in your baby—whether it is caused by a bacterial infection, in which case you can give the anti-inflammatory drug Amoxicillin, or if it is not, do not give the anti-inflammatory drug. The instructions for the Renhe brand Amoxicillin state that the dosage is 20 to 40 milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day, divided into three doses, and given orally to the baby. The weight you provided for the baby is inaccurate, and I cannot estimate it.
