Question 2

Hi, my 4-year-old has been getting frequent fevers, and every time we visit the doctor, they suggest giving P250 syrup. Weve already used more than one and a half bottles this time, but the fever still hasnt gone down. The doctor suggested continuing...

Accepted Answer

Giving P250 (Paracetamol) to your child for fever is a common practice, but it is important to ensure that the dosage is appropriate and does not exceed the recommended limits. P250 contains Paracetamol which is generally safe when taken at the correct dosage. However, excessive use or overdose of Paracetamol can lead to serious health issues, including liver damage. Since your child is experiencing frequent fevers, it is advisable to consult with the doctor to investigate the underlying cause of these recurrent fevers. Depending on the diagnosis, the doctor may recommend alternative treatments or further investigations to address the root cause of the fevers. In the meantime, if your child continues to have fever episodes, you can continue giving P250 as per the doctor's recommendation.

Question 4

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.

Question 5

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

Himalaya Liv.52 syrup is not recommended for 18-month-old babies to treat constipation, as it's primarily a liver tonic and not a laxative; instead, consult your pediatrician for guidance, and consider the following: ensure adequate hydration, offer a balanced diet rich in fiber, and consider a pediatrician-recommended laxative or stool softener if necessary.
