Hi,
You should mention which preparation you are giving to your child. If you are using 125 mg/5 ml preparation, you should give 2.5 ml 2 times a day. if you are using 250 mg/5 ml preparation, you should give 1.3 ml 2 times a day.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
