@mommytok, it was my hubbys sister that called it out so I was like oh gosh idk why that mistake was made
@mommyof3babies2016, yeah that’s like 90mg a day 🤭 Good call on the second opinion
@mommytok, oh I’m sorry I must have hit 2 instead
@mommyof3babies2016, well your post said 2 times a day so I guess I didn’t have the correct information
@mommytok, well I called for a second opinion but I’m giving her 6ml 3 times a day I called a different pediatrician and he said it was to much
@mommyof3babies2016, that’s what I needed! So she’s getting 60mg a day, which is on the lower side of normal dosage for her weight. Definitely still get another opinion if you want to though. I’m a nurse so all I did was compare your daughters dose with the normal range for her weight.
@mommyof3babies2016, so she should get somewhere around 81-82mg a day. How many mg in a ml? It’ll say on the bottle
@mommy2babygirl, before I had my first kid I was 100 pounds and now after having my second kid I am 160 LOL
@mommyof3babies2016, same as me I friggin hate it I was so tiny before 😭
That’s how my son was I took him to like 45 different doctors cause I thought they’re wrong and then they did an x-ray and they did a swab for the influenza and RSV and it came back positive ask for the swab
@mommyof3babies2016, yeah I wish her doctors would do something we’ve seen 3 different
They also told me that it was a coldOr a upper respiratory infection
@mommy2babygirl, yes I think so my son was sick for Weeks he ended up having RSV and influenza a
@mommyof3babies2016, awee poor girl! My girls been sick for like weeks now they just keep saying a cold/viral infection but I feel that’s to long
@mommy2babygirl, she has a eye infection a cold and she’s had a nosebleed
@mommyof3babies2016, what’s goin on with her !?
How much does she weigh? It’s usually 30 mg per kg a day
@mommyof3babies2016 Doctor or not, if something doesn't seem right to you mama, question it.
@chasha2017, she’s a pediatric I just find it a little weird
You can always get a second opinion. You have the right to do so.
@mommyof3babies2016, honestly every doctor prescribes a little differently. They all have certain meds they tend to prefer, and some are more likely to always give the higher dose range or the lower range. The original doctor who prescribed it might just be used to doing the higher range, and the second opinion might usually do a lower dose. Doesn’t always mean one is wrong, depending on the medication! But it’s definitely important as parents to always question everything so good for you for looking into it after your SIL mentioned it!
