What Should Be The Dosage Of Ondem Syrup In A 2.5-year-old?
Hello doctor, my child vomited 3 times in a span of 3 hours, last time when she vomited doctor advised to give ondem. But today I cannot find the prescription and do not remember if I should give it before or after food. And the dosage.she is w2.9 years and weight 15 kg.please advise.
The dose of Ondem drug will depend on the concentration of the bottle. Ideally for children 4 mg can be given in 2 divided doses, 12 hourly. If concentration of Ondem syrup is 2mg/5ml, then give 5 ml, 12 hourly.
Along with that you should also start ORS solutions (WHO approved) to prevent dehydration. The solution should be given through spoon or bottle if she can, as and when she asks for drinking.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
