A. The recommended paracetamol dosage for children is 10-15 mg per kg of body weight per dose, given every 4-6 hours as needed, with a maximum of 4 doses in 24 hours. For a child weighing 9.5 kg: Minimum dose: 9.5 × 10 = 95 mg Maximum dose: 9.5 × 15 = 142.5 mg Since you have a 125 mg/5 mL suspension, you can give approximately 3.8 mL (rounded to 4 mL) per dose. Always use a proper measuring device and consult your pediatrician if unsure.
