Question 1

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.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like your baby may be dealing with a stomach infection or digestive upset. Continue giving Ondem syrup for vomiting as needed and focus on keeping her hydrated with oral rehydration solutions (ORS). For the loose motions, avoid dairy and fatty foods, and offer easily digestible foods like boiled rice or plain toast once she feels better. If symptoms persist or worsen, its best to consult her pediatrician.

Question 3

My daughter has been getting a fever of around 100F almost every month for the past few months. It lasts 1-2 days, and the doctor usually suggests Combiflame. This time, the doctor ordered a CRP test, and the result came back with a CRP level of 65. ...

Accepted Answer

A CRP level of 65 indicates a moderate to high level of inflammation in the body. The antibiotics prescribed by the doctor are aimed at treating the possible bacterial infection. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed and follow up with the doctor for the repeat CRP test to monitor the response to treatment. Given the situation, it is essential to follow the doctor's advice closely, complete the course of antibiotics, and monitor your daughter's symptoms. If there are any concerning symptoms or if the fever persists, do not hesitate to contact your doctor for further evaluation and management.

Question 6

I got my baby girl's urine test report, and it says there are 8-10 pus cells per HPF. Is this normal? What's the normal ratio of pus cells in urine for a 5-year-old girl? Should I be worried, or is this something common? How can I treat it?

Accepted Answer

The normal ratio of pus cells in the urine of a 5-year-old girl is usually less than 5 per high power field (HPF). Therefore, 8-10 pus cells per HPF may indicate an infection. While a UTI is not usually dangerous, it is important to treat it promptly to prevent complications such as kidney infection. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
