Consult your doctor again and make sure that the dosage method is correct
According to the manufacturer:
"Children over 6 years of age: 1 to 1.5 million IU per day."
So a dose of 1.5 million IU is a daily dose, not a dose that a child should take every 8 hours.
If you do not have the opportunity to consult your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation here:
