Question

Im wondering how often I can give my baby Woodward's gripe water. My baby seems to have a lot of wind, and Im not sure if gripe water is the right thing to use for that. How many times a day would be safe? Also, Ive heard about Colicaid drops, but Im a bit confused about their difference from gripe water. When should I give Colicaid drops instead of gripe water?

Woodward's Gripe Water can be given to your baby up to 3-4 times a day, usually after meals or when your baby is feeling gassy. It helps relieve gas and bloating. Colicaid drops are specifically for relieving colic pain, given when your baby seems to have discomfort due to trapped gas or cramps. Gripe water is more for general wind relief. Always consult your pediatrician before giving any medication.

Question

I'm really worried because for the past couple of days, my son's eyes have been getting watery, and he has to rub them to feel a bit better. It's strange because we don't actually see any water coming out, and luckily, his eyes aren't hurting. What could be causing this?

Question

I'm really worried about my daughter. She had this issue a month ago, and after taking her medication, she got better. But now, for the past five days, she's facing the same problem again. We went to the doctor, and they prescribed her zagoozlomofen, hyocimax, and florazn. Could you tell me if this is the right treatment? I'm concerned because she doesn't seem completely better yet.

I'm feeling a bit concerned about my 4 and a half-year-old's fever. It's hovering around 100.5 degrees. Is this something I should be worried about and consider visiting a doctor for? Also, what would be the right dosage of Calpol 250 mg to give?
