I'm worried about my 11-month-old baby who weighs 9kg and has vomited twice. How much Calpol suspension should I give her? Is there any specific dosage I need to follow?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For an 11-month-old baby weighing 9kg, the recommended dosage of Calpol Suspension (containing paracetamol) is:
- 2.5-5 mL (60-120 mg) every 4-6 hours, as needed.
However, since your baby has vomited twice, consider the following:
- Consult your pediatrician before administering Calpol Suspension.
- Start with a small dose (2.5 mL or 60 mg) to check for tolerance.
- Monitor your baby's temperature and vomiting.
- If vomiting persists or worsens, seek medical attention.

It hasn't changed at all, and I'm not sure what I should do or if I should be more concerned. What could be causing this persistent fever, and should I be bringing him in to see someone?
7-month-old baby's head feeling hot with a temperature of 100C for two days can be concerning. However, it's essential to note that a baby's head can feel hotter than the rest of their body due to their underdeveloped thermoregulation system . Since your baby's temperature is slightly elevated, it's crucial to monitor their overall health. Ensure your baby is well-hydrated by breastfeeding or formula feeding as usual. *Possible Causes:* - _High metabolic activity_: Babies have a higher metabolic rate, which can cause their heads to feel hotter . - _Infection or illness_: Although less likely, it's essential to rule out any underlying infections or illnesses. *Next Steps:* 1. *Monitor temperature*: Continue to check your baby's temperature regularly. 2. *Hydrate*: Ensure your baby is well-hydrated. 3. *Consult a pediatrician*: Schedule a
