I'm a bit concerned about this Zedex P syrup I got for my kid. It seems really thick and syrupyalmost too viscous. Could you give me a rundown on what it should look like physically?

Uncontrolled High Blood Pressure and Laboratory Results

Concerns and Recommendations

  1. Uncontrolled hypertension: Despite taking Telmisartan 40mg, your blood pressure remains elevated (190110). This requires immediate attention to prevent cardiovascular complications.
  2. Kidney function: Your creatinine level (1.8) is slightly elevated, indicating potential kidney impairment. The high potassium level in your urine and proteinuria (2484) also suggest kidney damage.
  3. Albumin levels: Your albumin level (3.3) is within the normal range, which is a positive sign.
  4. Vitamin B12 deficiency: Your vitamin B12 level (82) is below the normal range (200-900 pgmL), which may contribute to fatigue, weakness, and neurological symptoms.

Recommendations

  1. Consult a cardiologist or nephrologist: Schedule an appointment with a specialist to reassess your hypertension management and kidney function.
  2. Adjust medication regimen: Your doctor may consider adding or adjusting medications to better control your blood pressure and protect your kidneys.
  3. Lifestyle modifications: Implement lifestyle changes, such as:
    • Reducing sodium intake
    • Increasing potassium-rich foods
    • Engaging in regular physical activity
    • Maintaining a healthy weight
    • Getting adequate sleep
  4. Vitamin B12 supplementation: Discuss vitamin B12 supplementation with your doctor to address the deficiency.

I'm really worried about my 6-month-old son. It's been raining a lot, and he ended up with a cold. We didn't clean his ears properly, and we also kept a cap on him, which I think might have led to some pus in his ears. The pediatrician gave us Clavam Bid drops, and we're giving him 2.5 ml three times a day for a week. But now, on the second day of taking it, he's experiencing loose motions after drinking breast milk, and we're not feeding him any solids. What should we do?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
