Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Zifi is cefixime given in a dose of 8 mg/kg body weight.
You may wait about 20-30 minutes so that the baby will not vomit because of the taste of the drug.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
