Is 2.5 Ml Of Phenergan Correct Dosage For Extrapyramidal Neck Extension?

My daughter is 4 and a half months old...She is running a fever for the past 3 days and the temperature has not gone beyond 100.9....and comes down with crocin.. but she had vomited twice and hence she was prescribed 0.5ml of Domstal drops 1mg/ml strength... but unfortunately by mistake we had given her 0.5 ml of domstal 10mg/ml strength... her head got stiff looking above and eyes rolled up and she kept crying inconsolably...right now the doctors have put her on phenergan 2.5ml three times a day until tomorrow,... she weighs 6.5 kg...is 2.5 ml of phenergan too much or fine..? the diagnosis was extrapyramidal neck extension - a side effect of Domperidone... pls let me know as I have to feed her in some time...

Phenergan 2.5ml 3 times a day appears to be reasonable dose. However sometimes phenergan may not be effective for treatment of extrapyramidal side effects caused by drugs such as domstal; in that case drugs such as diazepam can be used.
