Your worry about your baby is completely understandable. But I can't tell you a dose — medication amount is determined by your baby's weight and what your doctor decides.
Calpol (acetaminophen) dosing is based on weight and giving the wrong dose can be serious. Here's what you should do:
1. Read the package insert — there's usually a table by age and weight.
2. The safest way: call your pediatrician with your baby's weight to confirm the exact dose.
3. Emergency: if a dosing mistake happened or your baby's fever is very high (rapid breathing, lethargy, trouble breathing), call 112 right away.
Does your baby have a fever besides this? How long has the fever been there, and how high is it?
