Liquid vs tablet: If the dose is the same for liquid or tablet, yes if you still have questions, speak to the pharmacist at the store they can help you decide, you can always call his pediatrician as well.

Qualified: Dosage of medications that are equivalent can be given in any form at any age as long as the patient is able to take the method of administration. If a child can easily and consistently swallow a pill or capsule, etc of an equivalent dose of medication, then there is no problem.
