Question 2

I'm giving my 18-month-old son Sinarest-AF for his cold. I've been giving him 4ml three times a day for the past 3 days, and he's recovering well. Is it safe to continue giving him this medication whenever he gets a cold in the future?

Accepted Answer

Sinarest-AF is a combination medication that contains Paracetamol, Phenylephrine, and Chlorpheniramine. It is commonly used to relieve symptoms of cold and flu. In children, especially under 2 years old, the safety and efficacy of Phenylephrine and Chlorpheniramine are not well established. It is recommended to consult with a pediatrician before giving Sinarest-AF to children under 2 years old. For cold symptoms in children, it is important to focus on supportive care such as ensuring adequate rest, hydration, and a healthy diet. If your son has cold symptoms in the future, it is best to consult with a pediatrician for appropriate treatment options.

Question 3

Hi, my 9-month-old baby has been passing stool after every feed, usually 6 times or more a day, and it happens within an hour of feeding. Weve done a stool test, and everything came back normal, but my baby is not gaining weight. Can you help me unde...

Accepted Answer

Hi there, I understand your concern. Frequent stools after each feed can sometimes be a sign of digestive sensitivity or a mild intolerance, but since the stool test is normal, it's good to rule out infections. I recommend closely monitoring the baby's feeding patterns and discussing with your pediatrician about possible adjustments to the feeding routine or exploring other underlying causes for the weight concerns.

Question 4

Hi doctor, my baby is 30 days old. He was fair when he was born, but his skin has gotten darker over time. Ive been using Tedibar soap, but Im not sure if thats causing it. Could this be because of the summer heat, or is there another reason? Please ...

Accepted Answer

The darkening of your baby's skin tone is likely due to natural melanin production and adaptation to the environment, rather than the soap or summer heat; continue using gentle, fragrance-free soap like Tedibar, and consider consulting your pediatrician to rule out any underlying conditions, but in most cases, this change is harmless and may stabilize over time

Question 5

My 9-month-old baby has a cold and cough but no fever. Im not able to see a doctor in person right now, so could you suggest some medicine or remedies I can give?

Accepted Answer

Without examining the child there is not much we can do.As of now I can just prescribe you something that's safe for the child and can just control the symptoms for sometime.Syp. Montina-L 5ml twice a day after food.

Question 6

My 4-year-old son has been having a bad cough and cold lately, and some of my family members suggest giving him brandy for it. I've seen the statutory warning on the brandy bottle, which makes me unsure about whether its safe or not. Is it actually r...

Accepted Answer

Brandy is not recommended for children, especially at such a young age. It can have harmful effects on their developing bodies. Instead, you can give your child over-the-counter medications like Children's Tylenol or Children's Motrin for relief from cough and cold symptoms. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage based on your child's weight and age.
