    Default 5 week old with pneumonia, I need dosing amounts quick

    A friend has 2 5 week old babies, they opened their eyes 2 days ago. One has pneumonia, it's clicking when it breaths.
    Drugs on hand.
    Generic for Bactrim - SMZ/TMP DS 800-160 TAB AUR - Not expired
    Amox-Clav 500-125 MG tablet Expired 2 years ago (how long should I keep this one?)

    Baby is approximately 133 grams. I seen photos and video, he's not looking good.

    Give me a few minutes and I will dose the Amox/Clav for you.
    This is still good even after expiration.
    Bactrim is a slower antibiotic.

    I will pm you the dosing in a minute.

    Dosing sent.
