How much Flexon syrup should I give my child who weighs 12 kilograms? Should I calculate the dosage like we do for paracetamol at 15ml per kg? I'm a bit confused about how to get this right for my little one.

-For a child weighing 12 kg, the dose of Flexon syrup should generally be calculated based on the recommended dose per kg, similar to how you calculate paracetamol. However, the exact dosage of Flexon syrup varies, so it's best to follow the instructions

I'm worried about my 12-year-old brother. He's been saying that when he's watching TV and sees a female actor, some sticky stuff comes out of his penis without him doing anything. He also masturbates every day. Is this some kind of side effect from masturbation, or is it a normal thing for boys his age?

Your brother is experiencing premature ejaculation, which can be triggered by sexual arousal such as when watching TV. Masturbating daily at his age is also quite common. To help with premature ejaculation, he can try using a topical anesthetic cream like lidocaine cream applied to the penis before intercourse. Additionally, practicing techniques like the start-stop method or the squeeze technique during masturbation can also help. If the issue persists, he may consider seeing a doctor for further evaluation and management.
