first see what is strengyh of paracetamol /5ml usually sy. paracetamol comes in 2 strength 125mg/5ml and 250mg/5 ml. considering ypur babyage (actually wt is required to calculate dose) but let us consider her wt 10 kg then you shoul give 150mg to 200mg paracetamol. however there is no danger of toxicity
