Explanation / Answer

Ordered 600mg/ 3 times a day,so it is equal to 100mg/day totally

Frequency: 3 times a day

Weight: 20IB=20*0.45=9 kg

Available dose:400mg/ 5ml

Recommended dose: 80-100 mg/kg/day

The dose to be given range between

80*9=720 or 100*9=900

So dose in a day to be administered is 720 mg to 900 mg

The range of dose is high

To be administered: 7.5 ml = 600 mg
