Is 5 Mg Percocet Too Strong For Child S Abdominal Pain?

I took my 15 year old daughter to the hospital for extreme abdominal pain she endored after her first time working out at a gym. the docter on call gave her 5mg of Percocet for what he feels was muscle related from her workout. I was wondering if the medicine was too strong for a 15 year old?

NO, NO ,it is depend from pain, she is like as adult. After 12 years we can give the medicines like as for adult. I understand it is narcotic analgesic, prescribed for moderate to severe pain. Acetaminophen and Oxycodone (Percocet) can prescribe together for relief her severe pain.
