Question

I'm really worried because my little cousin accidentally drank 25 ml of Dettol Antiseptic Liquid that I had in a measurement cup. Its been about half an hour since then, and he just complained of a bit of irritation on his tongue. Theres no abdominal pain or nausea at the moment. He did drink a lot of warm water afterward, but I'm still anxious about whether hell be okay or if any other symptoms might show up. Could you please let me know what I should do?

Question

I'm a bit worried about using thrombophob gel on my 18-month-old son. Is it safe to apply it on a cut? And also, would it be okay to use after he's had a vaccine? How should I go about applying it if it's fine to use?

Question

I'm really worried about my 10-month-old baby girl. She had a high fever and a febrile seizure, so we had an MRI, EEG, and ultrasound done, but thankfully all the reports came back normal. We're giving her Taxim O, 3 ml, as an antibiotic. I'm concerned about giving antibiotics frequently and if there are any side effects we should watch for. Also, I've noticed she's passing urine more often than usual. Is that something to be alarmed about, or could it be normal? If you have any other advice, Id really appreciate it.

Question

I'm really worried about my 2 and a half-year-old son. He has a cold with a runny nose and sneezing, and he also occasionally gets a fever. Our pediatrician suggested Mucolite Alex Junior for the cold and cough, but it hasn't really helped. We then went to an ENT specialist who said he might have allergies and soft tissue issues, and she recommended Sinarest, Levolin, Gudcef, and Montek LC. I'm feeling really confused about these different medications and what's actually wrong. Could you help me understand what's going on and whether were on the right track with his treatment?
