Syrup paracetamol may be given 4-6 hourly when necessary up to a max of 4 doses in 24 hours. Don't give it to baby under 3 months. For babies between 3-6 months give 60 mg or 2.5 of 120mg/5 ml strength. Above 6-12 months give 90 mg or 3.75 ml of 120mg/5ml strength. Above 12 months -24 months give 120 mg or 5ml of 120mg/5ml strength. Above 24 months and up to 48 months 150 mg or 6.25 ml of 120mg/5ml strength
