Hi, my child is 11 months old and 9,4kg,she started with fever on Friday and I gave her panado but wouldn t go away so I went to the Dr. ,he couldn t find the cause of it because she s acting normal,eats,plays,sleeps normal,if it wasn t for the fever wouldn t think she was sick, the Dr prescribed paracetamol 5ml 3times a day and amocixillin 7,5ml 3 times a day for 5days, my question is,is that the right dosage?because I ve been reading and it looks like is too much for a 11year old...please advice
Hi dear Welcome to the Chat Doctor, Dose of Paracetamol seems to be ok for about 10 kg wt child. Amoxicillin cannot be measures in terms of ml. It depends upon the mg /ml to know the exact doses. If it is 125 mg per 5 ml then doses are quite adequate for the child. Baby to be investigated if fever do not respond in day or two with these medicines. Hope the query is answered. Thanks
