Hello
Your doctor prescribe MEFTAL-SPAS suspension i.e dicyclomine hydrochloride 10 mg simethicon 40 mg / 5 ml.
This is the the best drug for children for pain abdomen , cramps , flatulence , indigestion . However dicyclomin causes mild restlessness and confusion but it also provide relief in bowel movement of child ( if loose motion ) , while simethicon help in digestion .
In my opinion you can give 1/2 T S F as this is safe for your child.
