Patient's question:
The baby has been coughing for two or three days. Went to get medicine again today. It's said to be bronchitis. Prescribed cephalexin, along with other pills. Also prescribed two tablets of Gancao pian, a bottle of Propofol Hydrochloride Oral Solution, and instructed to take 5 ml at a time. Is this dosage a bit too high?Doctor's answer:
Dear Inquirer, based on your description, the standard dosage for a single administration for children under 6 years old is as follows:Under 1 year old: 10–15 μg/day (equivalent to 2–3 ml of oral liquid);
1–3 years old: 15–20 μg/day (equivalent to 3–4 ml of oral liquid);
3–6 years old: 20–25 μg/day (equivalent to 4–5 ml of oral liquid).
