3. A dose has been missed.
4. The child has not had adequate nutrition for a day.

Feedback
1. The initial dosing should be effective for an active child.
A high fever increases metabolism and can create a need for a higher dose of the
2. medication.
3. Missed doses should be taken as soon as remembered.
4. An inadequate diet for one day does not change the medication dosing.
