Thank you for your question on HCM. Im giving you the dosages for your child.Ibugesic is usually given according to the weight of the child.
For Fever and/or Pain : give 15 mg/kg as a first dose and then 10 mg/kg by mouth every 4 - 6 hours as needed. The maximum daily dose that is safe is 90 milligrams per kilogram weight per day (90 mg/kg/day), unless your baby is less than 3 months old when you should not give more than 60 milligrams per kilogram weight per day (60mg/kg/day).
ibugesic can be given every six to eight hours safely. If the temperature of your baby is more than 103 F or higher, or if your child seems fussy, lethargic, or dehydrated ,you must consult a doctor. Hope this information was helpful.in case of any doubts,you can get back to me. Regards, Dr.Radhika Lal
