Why are there different rates?

Milder infections like skin issues use lower rates (40mg/kg/day). More stubborn infections like middle ear infections (Otitis Media) often require 80-90mg/kg/day.

Should it be taken with food?

It can be taken with or without food, though food can help reduce stomach upset.
