POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy9 months agoA. The dosage of Calpol 250mg syrup (paracetamol) depends on your baby's weight. The typical dosage for a child is 15 mg per kg of body weight per dose, given every 4 to 6 hours as needed, with a maximum of 4 doses in 24 hours.
Here’s how you can calculate the dose:
1. Check your baby's weight.
If you don’t know, use an average weight for a 20-month-old (around 10-12 kg, but confirm with your baby's exact weight).
2. Calculate the dose.
For example:
If your baby weighs 10 kg, the dose is 10 × 15 = 150 mg per dose.
In terms of Calpol 250mg/5ml syrup:
5ml contains 250mg.
So, 150mg = (150 ÷ 250) × 5 = 3ml per dose.
Guidelines:
3-4 ml is typically safe for a 10-12 kg baby, given every 4-6 hours as needed.
Do not exceed 4 doses in 24 hours.
Always use a proper measuring syringe or spoon for accuracy.
Important:
Confirm your baby's exact weight for accuracy.
Consult your pediatrician if unsure or if your baby has any medical conditions.
Avoid overdosing; read the medicine label carefully.
