Ibugesic Plus for 5.5-year-old, 23 kg
Dose: 10-12 ml (2 teaspoons) every 6-8 hours
This is appropriate for a 5.5-year-old child. At this age:
- Weight-based dosing (10 mg/kg ibuprofen) = 230 mg ibuprofen per dose
- 23 kg × 10 mg/kg = 230 mg → ~11.5 ml of Ibugesic Plus syrup
Practical: Give 10 ml (if you want a conservative dose) or 12 ml (standard dose), up to 3 times a day, after food.
Always consult your pediatrician if fever persists beyond 3 days or if the child seems unwell.
