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.

I'm wondering if it's okay to give my 18-month-old NAN Pro powder stage 4. It just seems like my little one isn't gaining much weight. I've heard that NAN can help with baby weight gain. Is it safe, and could there be any side effects I should know about?
NAN Pro powder stage 4 is not recommended for children below 2 years of age. It is specifically formulated for older toddlers. For weight gain in younger children, you can consider using Pediasure. It is a nutritional supplement that can help with weight gain in children. The recommended dosage for Pediasure is 1-2 servings per day, as advised by your pediatrician. Always consult with your child's pediatrician before starting any new supplement.
