Concern Regarding Baby’s Medication Dose

2025-06-16 06:45:21
My baby is 3 months and 12 days old and currently weighs 6.1 kg. On June 14, he received her 3rd term vaccination, and since June 15, he has started having a fever. The doctor has prescribed 3.5 ml of medicine,PCM  but I’m a bit concerned. Can we give 3.5 ml at this age? Previously, we gave him 0.5 ml at one month( 1st term vaccination), then 0.8 ml. Now the dosage has increased to 3.5 ml . We are quite worried and would appreciate your guidance on whether this dosage is safe and appropriate.

Hi, it depends on the formulation you used. Earlier you must have given him drops. And now the doctor must have prescribed you syrup PCM 120 mg/5ml.
Next Steps
Reconfirm with your doctor the formulation given
