Can A Toddler Be Given Double Dosage Of Emeset After Vomiting?
Our daughter is 26 months and we gave her 2.5ml of Emeset 2mg/5ml today afternoon and evening on prescription. She vomited immediately in the evening and we have given her another dose. She had light bland food and ORS. But now at night she is feeling nausea again. Can we give another dose? Thank you.

Hi,
In fact any medication which is vomited within 10 to 15 minutes can be repeated.
But this particular medication is not something which need to be used regularly and please give it only if there is vomiting.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
