For a 3 year old child you can give 125 mg ( 2.5 ml) every 6 hrs like 4 doses/ day
You can give it for 3 days
Remember to monitor temperature and symptoms
But it is better to consult a pediatrician if fever persists more than 4 days or
Any side effects like vomiting, rashes
Kindly measure the weight of the child first ... A standard dosage of paracetamol syrup should be given at 0.6 ml / kg of body weight... For further management you can consult me here
if 3 year old girl u can use 3.5 ml of 250/5 paracetamol syrup upto 4 times a day
3 years of age we can assume weight of 8 to 10 kgs so 120 mg to 150 mg is sufficient so 2.5 ml of 250 mg / 5 ml is sufficient
Paracetamol dose is 10 - 15mg/kg if your child's weight is considered at around 10kg at 3yrs then approx 2.5ml (250mg/5ml) can be given.
Thank you
You can give 5ml 2-3 times daily.
For a 3yr old it should be by syrup only not through tablets give 2 to 3ml para syrup for every 6 hrs and clean the baby with wet towel whenever her temperature rises
