Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Assuming her weigh to be 20 kg , she can take 200 mg of paracetamol ,that is 8 ml of 120-125 mg/ 5 ml or 4 ml of 240-250 mg/ 5 ml syrup every 4 hourly ( for a 6 hourly regimen it will be 6/12 ml of respective strength ) .

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.

*Always check for history of allergy before taking any medicine.
Wishing your daughter speedy recovery.
