Hi Juliette,

Yes, a 7yr old can take this medication for an upper respiratory infection. Posted below are the correct dosing protocols for children and adults:

Children 2-10 years: 250 mg initially, then 125 mg 8-hourly.

Children under 2 years: Half the recommended dose for children 2-10 years

Adults (including elderly patients): 500 mg initially and then either 500 mg or 250 mg 8-hourly depending on severity of infection.

Doses should be administered 1 hour before meals.

These details are referenced from the manufacturer guidelines.

I hope this helps!
