I'm worried about my 11-month-old baby who weighs 9kg and has vomited twice. How much Calpol suspension should I give her? Is there any specific dosage I need to follow?

For an 11-month-old baby weighing 9kg, the recommended dosage of Calpol Suspension (containing paracetamol) is: - 2.5-5 mL (60-120 mg) every 4-6 hours, as needed. However, since your baby has vomited twice, consider the following: - Consult your pediatrician before administering Calpol Suspension. - Start with a small dose (2.5 mL or 60 mg) to check for tolerance. - Monitor your baby's temperature and vomiting. - If vomiting persists or worsens, seek medical attention.
