yes that will treat strep.im not sure of the dosage. if i were you, i wouldnt hesitate to use the meds you have. someone here will probably help you determine dosage.
feel better soon
See if you kids' doctor will write a prescription for you, seeing as he knows your kids have it. Getting a strep test shouldn't cost much if the doc wants it--and amoxicillin is really cheap as far as meds go. Don't try to medicate yourself--strep can turn into scarlet fever if it's not treated properly.
update:
For most infections in adults the dosing regimens for amoxicillin are 250 mg every 8 hours, 500 mg every 8 hours, 500 mg every 12 hours or 875 mg every 12 hours, depending on the type and severity of infection.
