🧒💊 Paracetamol Dosing for Children: What Every Parent Should Know

Paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen) is commonly used to relieve fever and mild to moderate pain in children — but correct dosing is critical for safety and effectiveness.

📏 General Pediatric Dose:
10–15 mg/kg per dose
🕒 Every 4 to 6 hours as needed
🚫 Maximum: 4 doses in 24 hours

🧮 Dosing Should Be Based on Weight, Not Age
• Always check your child’s current weight
• Use a proper measuring device (oral syringe or dosing cup)

💡 Important Guidelines:
✔️ Do not exceed the daily maximum dose
✔️ Never combine with other medications containing paracetamol
✔️ Read labels carefully for infant vs. child formulations
✔️ Do not use adult-strength tablets for children
✔️ If fever or pain persists more tha 3 days, consult a doctor

⚠️ Overdose Risk:
Paracetamol is safe when used correctly, but excessive doses can cause serious liver damage.

📣 Ask your pharmacist or pediatrician to confirm the correct dose based on your child’s weight.
