0.5ml of p250 is very small dose.
Be careful in future.

Hi, 0.5ml of p250 syrup contains 25mg of paracetamol. If u given this to your 6 months old baby there is no problem. 25mg of paracetamol effect is negligible.
Next Steps
now be tension free and from next time whenever you are giving medicine just be careful.
Health Tips
