Provide clear dosing instructions to caregivers, using tools like dosing syringes or cups. Educate caregivers about the importance of adhering to prescribed dosages and schedules. Monitor for adverse effects and address any concerns promptly. Consider the child's age, weight, and developmental stage when prescribing medications.
