Hello
I appreciate you are asking for the correct dosage of the medication
You can give 5ml of Calpol 250 for 17kg child every 6th hourly, avoid over-dosing
This helps both for fever and pain relief
Next Steps
Encourage adequate hydration during fever episodes.
Do not wake a sleeping child just to give paracetamol, unless advised by the doctor.
Tepid sponging will help along with the medicine
Health Tips
Do NOT exceed 5 doses in 24 hours.
Visit Pediatrician immediately if:
Fever persists beyond 3 days
Child becomes lethargic, has persistent vomiting, rash, or breathing difficulty
