Brief Answer:
Give 4.5ml if the strenth is 120mg/5ml
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
The dose for your 10 month old child whose weight is 7.8kg will be 4.5ml every 5-6 hrs in a day (but should not to exceed 4 times a day).
This is the dose if the paracetamol suspension is of the concentration of 120 mg/5ml.
Or if the suspension is 250mg/5ml then half of the dose from the above.
Let me know if I you have any more doubts.
