View allMy little one has a stuffy nose and a bit of a cough. She's just 5 months old. I'm thinking of giving her mucolite and maxtra, both at the same time, but I'm not sure if that's okay. The dosage I've got is 0.6 ml. Is that alright for her age?
Yes you can give it no problem.

I'm really worried about my 14-month-old daughter; she's not walking yet, just crawling, and her weight seems quite low at 7.2 kg. She was 2.8 kg at birth. I'm not breastfeeding anymore and I've been giving her cow's milk along with soft food three times a day. She eats well, but she's having stools 2 to 3 times daily. The doctor recommended Bevcon syrup for a month, but I'm not sure if that's enough. Could you suggest what else I should consider or if there's another syrup that might help?

I'm really concerned about my child who's under 12 and has been complaining of stomach pain. I heard about Anafortan injection with camylofin hydrochloride, but I'm not sure what the right dose would be for someone that young. Can you help me figure this out?
The dose of Anafortan injection (camylofin hydrochloride) for children below 12 years old with stomach pain is usually 0.5 mg per kg of body weight, given intramuscularly. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for the exact dosage based on the child's weight and condition.
