Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have a 6-month-old child suffering from cold. Doctor prescribed syrup Delcon drops 0.8 milliter thrice a day. But dose on the medicine cover is 0.1 milliliter. Now which instruction I should follow?
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and understand your concern. Drugs in children are prescribed on weight and severity of symptoms in a margin range. I would suggest you to call the doctor and review the child for any change.
I hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards.
