Hello, the son of 2 years is prescribed ebilfumin after a positive test for flu. At home, a 5-month-old infant is also prescribed for the prevention... According to the leaflet he is to get 3.80 ml of solution (7.8 kg), but in what amount of water should this solution (powder from the capsule) be mixed so that the concentration is not too small or too large?

Ebilfumin is only available in capsule form. I understand that you are asking about the dosage for a 7.8 kg infant. = 1 30 mg capsule (whole powder) into a bowl = then add 5 ml of water (measure with a syringe), =Stir the mixture for about 2 minutes with a teaspoon. =Do not worry if the powder does not dissolve completely. = Withdraw 3.80 ml from this suspension also using a syringe/dispenser. Such a suspension has a bitter taste and the child can spit it out, so please squeeze these 3.8 ml into a bowl with a small amount of something sweet and give it to the child in full. Unfortunately, I do not know if at the age of 5 months your child eats any other foods than milk, e.g. fruit mousse. If you have not understood something, please ask.
