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 7-year-old son's asthma attacks. Can I use Duolin respules in a nebulizer for his asthma attacks? I know that albuterol or salbutamol is commonly used for asthma, but since Duolin doesn't have these active ingredients, is it still okay to use?
