A. The dosage of ibuprofen for infants is typically based on their weight. The usual dosage is about **10 mg per kg** of body weight every 6-8 hours, but you should always confirm the exact dosage with your pediatrician, as it can vary depending on the specific product and the condition being treated. For a baby weighing 6.5 kg: - The dose would generally be **65 mg** (6.5 kg x 10 mg/kg). If your ibuprofen syrup contains 100 mg of ibuprofen per 5 ml (which is common), the dosage would be approximately **3.25 ml**. However, it's essential to double-check the concentration of the ibuprofen syrup you are using and consult with your pediatrician before administering the medication to ensure it is safe and appropriate for your baby. The pediatrician can provide the exact dosage based on the baby’s specific needs.
