Question 1

My little one is 2 years and 2 months old, and I'm thinking about starting Junior Horlicks Stage 1. I'm unsure what the right age is since I noticed that both the Stage 1 and Stage 2 packs mention not giving it to children under 2 years old, but there's no more detailed age info. Could you help me with when might be a good time to start?

Question 2

Can I drink an ORS solution once or twice daily for rehydration? Is this safe, or could it cause problems for me later on? Should I be using something else like glucose instead since my doctor mentioned I've lost a lot of water in my body? What do yo...

Accepted Answer

ORS can be taken once or twice daily for rehydration, especially if you're experiencing dehydration. It helps replenish lost electrolytes safely. However, glucose alone is not as effective for rehydration since it lacks electrolytes. Stick to ORS for better hydration, but consult your doctor if you have any concerns.

Given your symptoms, I recommend consulting an:

1. *ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) Specialist*: As dizziness can be related to inner ear issues, such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).
2. *Neurologist*: To rule out any underlying neurological conditions that might be causing your dizziness.
3. *General Physician*: If you're unsure about which specialist to consult, start with a general physician who can evaluate your overall health and refer you to a specialist if needed.

Before consulting a doctor:

1. *Keep a symptom journal*: Track when the dizziness occurs, how long it lasts, and any triggers you notice.
2. *Monitor your blood pressure*: Ensure your blood pressure is within a healthy range.
3. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water throughout the day.

During the consultation:

1. *Share your medical history*: Inform your doctor about your previous experience with dizziness 3 years ago.
2. *Describe your symptoms*: Provide detailed information about your dizziness, including when it occurs, how long it lasts, and any triggers you've noticed.

Elevated SGOT (AST), SGPT (ALT), and bilirubin levels can indicate liver stress or damage. Consult a hepatologist or gastroenterologist for personalized guidance. In the meantime, consider lifestyle modifications: avoid alcohol, maintain a healthy weight, exercise regularly, and eat a balanced diet.
