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

Question

My 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?

Question

I'm really concerned because during a recent polio vaccination drive, my son was accidentally given 67 drops instead of the usual 2 drops of the oral polio vaccine. Hes already had multiple oral doses and the IPV. Could this cause any issues now or in the future? What should I look out for in terms of symptoms of an overdose?

Question

I'm really worried about my 4-year-old daughter. Her latest urine test showed pus cells at 25-30 and epithelial cells at 34. About a year and a half ago, she had a mild urinary tract infection. How serious is her current situation? Should I be concerned about these numbers?
