Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
I don't agree with your doctors opinion.
The dose you have given is very high and prolonged.
I suggest you take him to a pediatrician as soon as possible.
High dose domperidone can cause liver injury and can cause arrhythmia too.
Get blood count, liver function test and renal function test along with ECG.
If everything is fine no need to worry.
Wishing your child speedy recovery.
