Dosage
The dosage of paracetamol depends on the weight of the child; ages are given for information. If you do not know the child's weight, it should be weighed to give the best dose. Paracetamol exists in many dosages, allowing the treatment to be adapted to the weight of each child. The recommended daily dose of paracetamol depends on the child's weight: it is approximately 60 mg / kg per day, divided into 4 to 6 doses per day, or approximately 15 mg / kg every 6 hours. The dosing system is graduated in kg, with mention of weights 4-6-8-10-12-14-16 kg. The other graduations correspond to the intermediate weights 3-5-7-9-11-13-15 kg. Fill the dosing system according to the child's weight and adjust the liquid level to the graduation. - From 4 kg to 16 kg: use the dosing system up to the graduation corresponding to the child's weight or up to the one closest to it. For example, from 4 kg to 5 kg: fill the dosing system up to the 4 kg graduation. The catch is to be renewed if necessary after 6 hours. - from 16 kg to 32 kg: fill the dosing system the first time then complete by filling the dosing system a second time until the child's weight is obtained. For example, from 18 to 19 kg: fill the dosing system the first time up to the 10 kg graduation then complete by filling the dosing system a second time up to the 8 kg graduation. Systematic catches prevent oscillations of pain or fever. In children, they should be regularly spaced, including at night, preferably 6 hours. In the event of serious kidney disease (severe renal failure), the catches should be spaced at least 8 hours apart. Observe the maximum recommended doses. If in doubt, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
