- Timing: Administer at a fixed time for consistent effects. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking it, you can give the same dose again.
- Dosage: Follow the prescribed dose closely; do not exceed the recommended amount for quick relief, as this may lead to unwanted side effects.
Common Uses
- Pain Relief: Effective for various types of pain including headaches, migraines, toothaches, sore throats, menstrual cramps, and muscle aches.

Most side effects are temporary and should resolve as your child’s body adjusts. Consult your child’s doctor if side effects persist or worsen.

This information is vital for safe and effective treatment.
