POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month2 months agoA. For a 2.5-month-old baby after vaccination, paracetamol drops are often given to reduce fever or discomfort. The correct dose depends on your baby's weight, not just age.
🔹 General Guideline: Dose: Usually 10–15 mg per kg of body weight every 6 hours, not more than 4 times in 24 hours. If you're using paracetamol drops (100 mg/ml), the number of drops varies: Example: For a baby weighing 5 kg, the dose would be around 0.5 ml (50 mg) = usually 8–10 drops, depending on the dropper. ✅ Important: Always follow your doctor’s prescription and check the label of your paracetamol drops for strength (e.g., 100 mg/ml or 150 mg/ml). Use a proper dropper or syringe for accurate dosing. If baby has persistent fever or is very fussy, consult the pediatrician.
Never guess the dose—confirm with your doctor based on your baby's current weight and the exact medication concentration.
