Hi,
If she is more than 6 months, then only 10 mg/kg for 1st day, then 5 mg per day for 2nd to 5th days! Warning, she should be more than 6 months old!. You didn't mention her age.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sunny Madar, General & Family Physician
