Amoxicillin should be stored in temperature 0°C to 20°C, therefore it must be stores in refrigerator as it provided temperature only between 0°C to 5°C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Dosage of Amoxicillin as prescribed is 25 mg/kg-day

Weight of the Child weight = 36.5 lbs

As We know 1 lbs = 0.4536 kg

therefore, the weight of Child is 36.5\times 0.4536 kg = 16.5564 kg

From the information about dosage,

1 kg of body takes = 25 mg/day

so, for 16.556 kg body
`16.5564\  kg \ body\  takes = 25* 16.5564 = 413.91 mg/day`

Therefore 36.5 lbs weight of child able to take 413.91 mg/ day dose

Amoxicillin should be stored in temperature 0°C to 20°C, therefore it must be stored in refrigerator as it provided temperature only between 0°C to 5°C.
