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?

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.

I'm really worried about my kid. They had a fever, but the blood test came back normal, and the fever went away after using Fepanil 125, Relent, Deriphyllin, and Zynconiataximo 100 tab as advised by our pediatrician. My kid seemed to get better and started playing again, but now the fever is back. It's been a total of 8 days since the fever first started. We did a urine test, and it showed a bacterial infection now we're just waiting for the urine culture results. I'm stressed because I can't seem to find a good pediatrician in Ramamurthy Nagar, and it feels like something serious might be going on. I have twin girls, and thankfully, the other one is okay. Any advice or suggestions on what steps to take next?
