POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. For an 8-month-old baby, the dosage of paracetamol (acetaminophen) depends on the baby's weight and the concentration of the medication. Typically, the dosage for infants is around 10-15 mg per kilogram of body weight, every 4-6 hours as needed.
Here’s a general guideline:
1. **Check the concentration** of the paracetamol syrup (often 120 mg/5 mL or 160 mg/5 mL).
2. **Calculate the dose** based on the baby's weight. For example, if the baby weighs around 8 kg, the dose would be approximately 80-120 mg.
3. **Measure the correct volume** based on the syrup’s concentration. For a 160 mg/5 mL concentration, 80 mg would be 2.5 mL.
Always follow the dosing instructions provided on the medication packaging or by your pediatrician. If in doubt, consult your doctor for the correct dosage.
