How should babies with a bit of a runny nose take medicine?

Patient's question:

The baby is a bit stuffy with a runny nose. The instructions say to take 3mg/kg of body weight per dose. One bag contains 3g, which equals 3000mg. The baby weighs 13kg. Is the dosage 39mg?

Doctor's answer:

Dear Consultee,
Hello, according to the symptoms you mentioned, such as a runny nose, is your baby's temperature normal? Do they have a sore throat or a cough? Based on the discomfort symptoms you described, you can use Children's Paracetamol and Chlorpheniramine Granules. Take one-third of a bag each time, three times a day.
The above advice is for the question "How should I take medicine for a slightly runny nose in my baby?" We hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!!
