A member asked:

Can i insert a paracetamol suppository to my 8 month old?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dose: You need to verify dose with her doctor. As long as she has no contraindication for acetomenophen the usual dose is 10-15 mg/kg/dose, up to every 4 hours. Please verify with your baby's doctor.
