If your child vomits within 30 minutes of intake, repeat the same dose, but do not double-dose if it's time for the next dose.

Narrate your child’s complete medical history to your child’s doctor, including any previous episode of allergy, heart problems, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. This information is critical for dose alterations and for planning your child’s overall treatment.
