Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -q.i.d. (or qid or QID) is four times a day; q.i.d. stands for “quater in die” (in Latin, 4 times a day). q h: If a medicine is to be taken every so-many hours, it is written “q h"; the “q” standing for “quaque” and the “h” indicating the number of hours.
Detailed explanation-2: -When the drug facts label on the medicine says to give it “every 6 hours, ‘’ that generally means the medicine is taken 4 times a day (for example, at breakfast, lunch, supper, and bedtime). It doesn’t always mean you have to wake the child up in the night to take medicine.
