Patient's question:
How many days does an 8-year-old child need to take deworming medicine, and how many tablets per day? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: The child doesn't like to eat and often says their stomach hurts. I bought them pediatric tetracycline tablets, but I don't know how many they've taken because the instructions are gone. What kind of help do you need: Fast and accurate response.Doctor's answer:
Seeing your question description, I can tell you that medication for children is generally calculated based on body weight in kilograms. For 1 to 3-year-old children weighing between 10 to 14 kilograms, they can take 5 to 7 pellets of the tower-shaped candy daily, for two consecutive days, with the total daily dose not being less than 12 pellets. At the same time, it is important to strictly pay attention to the contraindications and adverse reactions of the medication. It is best to consult a local doctor in detail, based on your baby's specific condition.
