How much paracetamol can a 12 year old take?

For a 12-year-old, the typical dosage of paracetamol (acetaminophen) is usually based on their weight. Generally, the recommended dose is 10-15 mg per kilogram of body weight, taken every 4-6 hours as needed, without exceeding 4 grams in a 24-hour period. However, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional for specific dosing recommendations tailored to the individual child. Always follow the instructions on the medication packaging or as directed by a doctor.
