Question 1

My 8-month-old baby has a really blocked nose, and the Nasivion 0.01 doesnt seem to be helping. He weighs around 9 kg. Can I try the 0.025 dosage instead? Also, Im wondering if a nebulizer would be a good option for him. Any advice?

Question 2

I have a 14-month-old daughter who has had hot palms and feet since yesterday. Her temperature was 102.3, and now it's around 100. She has 2 teeth and seems to be dealing with sore gums. Could this be because of teething? What should I do?

Accepted Answer

It is possible that your daughter's symptoms are related to teething. To help alleviate her discomfort and reduce her fever, you can give her infant acetaminophen suspension. Consult the medication label or your pediatrician for specific dosing instructions. Additionally, you can provide her with teething toys or a cold washcloth to chew on to help soothe her sore gums. If her symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with her pediatrician for further evaluation.

Question 3

My kid has been having a high fever, and the doctor recommended Meftal. But even after one dose, the fever is still not coming down; it's staying around 102F. Should I be concerned, or is this normal?

Accepted Answer

The medication Meftal is commonly used to reduce fever and relieve pain. In this case, since the fever is still high at 102F after taking Meftal, you can consider giving your child Acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) at a dose appropriate for their age and weight. It is important to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging or as advised by your doctor. Additionally, make sure your child stays hydrated and dress them lightly to help reduce the fever. If the fever persists or if your child's condition worsens, please consult your doctor for further evaluation.

Question 4

My 6-year-old son started vomiting in the morning after drinking water. He hasnt been able to eat much, and in the afternoon, he started complaining of stomach pain. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

Accepted Answer

I recommend giving him syrup Ondansetron for vomiting, syrup Domperidone for stomach pain, and syrup Omeprazole to reduce stomach acid. These medications are commonly available in India and can help alleviate his symptoms.

Question 5

My son has had a cold, cough, wheezing, and a runny nose for the past 11 days. He wasnt eating much but kept asking for water all the time, which is unusual for him. We saw a pediatrician who prescribed Tminic and Asthalin syrup, but we stopped the n...

Accepted Answer

For your son's persistent running nose, consider adding saline nasal drops or spray to help loosen mucus, and consult the pediatrician about continuing Tminic and possibly adding an antihistamine or decongestant; regarding the recurring wheezing, discuss with the pediatrician the possibility of underlying conditions like asthma, allergies, or respiratory issues, and explore preventive measures, such as avoiding triggers, using a humidifier, and keeping your home clean and dust-free, to reduce the likelihood of wheezing episodes.
