5 doses of paracetamol within 24 hrs
Hi Doctors,
My pediatrician advised paracetamol on SOS basis. I have given 5 doses of paracetamol (1ml) to my 10 months old baby within 24 hrs.
First dose 4:30 AM,
Second dose 11 AM(after 6 hrs)
Third dose 2:40 PM( within 4 hrs but 4 hrs about to complete), as fever reached to 103.8
Fourth dose 7 PM(after 4 hrs),
Fifth dose 3:00 AM(1.5 hrs before 24 hrs period completion) as again fever was very high)
During all the doses , fever was high.
I am worried that I may not have given overdose of paracetamol to my baby. Each ml contains paracetamol IP 100 mg
Please advise.
