Splitting medicine dose
Hi my son is 3 months old and he got viral today. Doctor prescribed paracetamol phenylephrine hydrochloride and chlorpheniramine maleate oral drop along with Amoxycillin and potassium clavulanate oral suspension. Doctor prescribed 1ml twice a day for Amoxycillin and 1ml thrice a day for paracetamol. But my baby is spitting the medicine every time we try to give him. Can we give few drops every 2-3 hours instead of 1ml every 8-12 hours?
