The recommended antibiotic for treating streptococcus in an 8-year-old child is amoxicillin. It can be taken in chewable tablets or capsules. The pharmacist can help adjust the dosage based on the child's weight. If the child is unable to take the recommended dosage, the pharmacist may need to contact the doctor to explore alternative options such as switching to penicillin. It is important to communicate any difficulties with administering the medication to the pharmacist to find a suitable solution.
