Overdose of PCM
My baby is a new born infant (1.5 months). After 1.5 month's vaccinations, he got fever. We gave him 2.5ml of PCM in every 6 hours. Is this dosage fine or we have overdosed him?? I am afraid coz overdose of PCM affects liver. My son is not having his stomach clean from last 3 days.

Taking pcm a day will not affect the liver
But instead of pcm , tapid sponging is sufficient to reduce temperature
Dosage is calculated according to weight of child
Next Steps
check accurate weight of baby
Health Tips
pcm after vaccination can work well to reduce fever but it should not be given more than 2 days unless indicated
