A. Emset (Ondansetron) is typically used to prevent nausea and vomiting, often after surgery or during treatments like chemotherapy. The dosage for children depends on the weight and condition being treated. For a 2-year-old child, it is essential to follow your pediatrician’s advice as the dose may vary based on the individual child's health needs. However, as a general guideline: Typical dosage for children aged 1–4 years is 0.1 mg/kg of body weight. Maximum dose should not exceed 4 mg per dose. For example, if your 2-year-old weighs about 10 kg, the dose would be around 1 mg (0.1 mg × 10 kg). This can usually be given every 8 hours, but it's crucial to confirm with your doctor before administering. Always follow the exact instructions given by your healthcare provider, especially for anti-nausea medications, as incorrect use could have side effects. If you're unsure about the dosage or intervals, please consult your pediatrician for personalized guidance.
