It's sad that we have lost trust in doctors we are doing doctor hopping in this country where as in other western world you cannot go from one doctor to other without permission. We are cross checking all the medicine given by our doctor in google, friends and other doctors.

Yes, dose prescribed by doctor is right. Even if this query looks like, lack of confidence, It may not be necessarily lack of trust in a doctor, but a human tendency to reaffirm the things again and again in general, particularly when it is easy, effortless and free.

Patients, parents need to understand one thing, opinions expressed here, online, are given without examining the patient and are based on the short history given by the patients or parents. These are just broad guiding principles in general and can't be used to cross check whether treating doctor is right or wrong in the particular case.

A treatment, dose of the drugs in a particular patient can be prescribed by a doctor only on thorough history and clinical examination. So if advice given on net concurs with your doctor's advice, it is fine. But it does not, then it simply means your treating doctor is more likely to be correct, based on his clinical judgment. In such a situation that creates doubt, one has to take second opinion, not online but by going to another doctor for clinical examination, history and management of the illness.
