Child Dose (mg) = Weight (kg) * 15

Standard clinical guideline for pediatric paracetamol is 10-15 mg/kg per dose.

20kg child -> 20 * 15 = 300 mg per dose.

The standard dose is 15 mg per kg of body weight, given every 4 to 6 hours if needed.

Typically, paracetamol should not be given more than 4 times in a 24-hour period.

The maximum infant dose is usually capped at 60mg/kg/day or the adult maximum of 4g/day, whichever is lower. Consult a doctor for high weights.
