Is 4 ml of suspension Zinnat 250 mg/5 ml for a 16 kg child is not too much?

At the outset, I would like to write that 3 doses are definitely not enough for you to notice any improvement. If we were talking about 3 days of administering the drug, you could think about it - only after such a time you can notice an improvement. The recommended dose of Zinnat is between 10 mg/kg (no more than 125 mg) and 15 mg/kg (no more than 250 mg) twice a day, depending on: • severity and type of infection • weight and age of the child. Taking into account this range, a child weighing 16 kg can receive from 125 mg (should be 160 mg with a reservation of 10 mg / kg, but the manufacturer stipulates that no more than 125 mg) to 240 mg of the drug twice a day, which in terms of ml of suspension ranges from 2.5 ml to 4.8 ml twice a day depending on the severity and type of infection. The 4 ml of suspension prescribed by the doctor is therefore the most correct.

Opiszę sytuację w piątek dziecko zaczęło chorować gorączka co 8 h w sobote stwierdzono zapalenie ucha i zaczerwienione ucho. Pani przepisała Zinnat 250 3.2 ml. Nie podałam ponieważ poszłam jeszcze prywatnie w sobotę i pani dr stwierdziła że nie ma potrzeby.We wtorek dalej gorączka co 8h czasem o 6h. Znowu wizyta decyzją Zinnat 250 4 ml. Więc podałam. Dzisiaj już jest po 3dawkach i na razie bez zmian. Przyznam się szczerze że podałam 3.75ml
