When your child isn't feeling well, it's natural to want to help them feel better as quickly as possible. But giving the correct medication—and the correct dose—is just as important as choosing the right treatment.

Medication dosages for children are based on weight, not just age. Using the proper measuring syringe or dosing cup instead of a household spoon helps ensure your child receives the safest and most accurate dose.

If you're ever unsure about which medication to use or how much to give, our team is here to help. We can answer your questions, evaluate your child's symptoms, and provide guidance you can trust.

Your child's health is always our top priority.

📞 Call Personal Pediatrics today at (407) 345-9929 if you have questions about medication dosages or would like to schedule an appointment.

Use our handy dosage chart for your children to know what amounts are safe. If you have questions or wish to make an appointment, call today!
