Hello,
The dosage is appropriate for his age.
You can give the syrup only if there is vomiting.
If symptoms persist you can consult a paediatrician and get evaluated.
We have to rule out possibilities like gastroenteritis. In that case, antibiotics have to be started.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
