While your little boy received more paracetamol (Calpol) than recommended for his weight of 7.7 kg, try not to panic. Because this exceeds the safe daily limit, there is a risk of liver strain. It is very important to seek medical advice right away. Please contact your pediatrician, local hospital, or poison control immediately. Have the bottle ready so you can tell them the exact times of the doses. They will guide you on the next steps to ensure he is perfectly safe and healthy.
