A. Hello mom Firstly you are giving the extra dose. The doses can be calculated according to babies weight if your babies weight is more than 10 KG then you should give 5ML of syrup. But always set the temperature before giving medicine. And if the temperature is below 99° then you should avoid giving medication to the baby Happy parenting
