baby ja
5ml!!!!! That's definitely overdose. My son who is 4yrs old now is also taking 5ml only.
My gal is taking 2ml. Ya, it's dependent on weight, age and dr.
I've 2 different instructions on my nurofen which i got yesterday after seeing EK Ong. Dr ong's is >38.5 every 6hrly. Dr Koh & Dr Vella is >39 every 8hrly.
Talk abt dosage, overhead a telephone conversation of the nurse with the parent. Total idiotic parent. The parent has a 4mth old baby and she fed him his elder brother's medication and then called and ask if it's ok. Stupid right? The bb has never taken the meds before, and she also won't know how much to give. She thinks she's doctor. The nurse advised her to see the PD but she was still so insistent about the meds and even asked if it's alright to give. Aiyoh, it's like asking for permission after you've done it and then if anything wrong happens, they wanna sue the clinic? Stupid parents leh.
Then another smart aleck grandma who was given a medication for the baby, asked how come not another meds. As if she's the dr lor. The other meds is meant for >1yr old kid. THe baby she was carrying looks very young. Think less than 6 months old.
