Question 1

I'm really worried about my 16-month-old. She started vomiting and then having watery poo a few days ago. On Sunday, she threw up about 5 to 6 times from 6 pm to 10:30 pm, so we gave her 2.5 ml of ondem syrup, and it seemed to stop the vomiting. But on Monday, she started having loose motions pretty soon after eating, like within 15 to 20 minutes, and it happened more than 10 times. By Tuesday, her poo was just watery once, and she seemed okay. But then on Wednesday morning, after breastfeeding, she vomited twice and she's been refusing to eat anything. Plus, she's had more than 8 episodes of watery poo and cries every time she goes. The crying during poo is worrying me. How can I help stop the vomiting and loose stools and maybe get her to eat something? It's been tough seeing her like this.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like your baby may be dealing with a stomach infection or digestive upset. Continue giving Ondem syrup for vomiting as needed and focus on keeping her hydrated with oral rehydration solutions (ORS). For the loose motions, avoid dairy and fatty foods, and offer easily digestible foods like boiled rice or plain toast once she feels better. If symptoms persist or worsen, its best to consult her pediatrician.

Question 2

I'm worried about my 2.5-year-old son who weighs 12 kg. Hes had a fever since Monday, and we've been giving him crocin as the doctor advised. But today, even after taking crocin, his fever hasnt gone down and is still above 100. Would it be okay to give him meftal in between doses?

Accepted Answer

no, consult paediatrician

Question 3

My kid is 4 years old and he's still not talking as much as I'd expect. I've been to the pediatrician, and he recommended two syrups called Forts B and Neotoserum. I've been giving them to my child for the past six months, and while I've noticed some improvement, he still isn't understanding everything and can't always reply properly. What else should I be doing?

Nipple Discharge: Normal or Abnormal?

_Normal Reasons:_

1. *Hormonal fluctuations*: Changes in estrogen and progesterone levels can cause nipple discharge.
2. *Stimulation or squeezing*: As you've experienced, squeezing or stimulating the nipples can cause a clear discharge.
3. *Pregnancy or breastfeeding*: Hormonal changes during pregnancy or breastfeeding can lead to nipple discharge.

_Abnormal Reasons:_

1. *Galactorrhea*: A hormonal imbalance can cause spontaneous nipple discharge, often accompanied by other symptoms like irregular periods or infertility.
2. *Prolactinoma*: A benign tumor in the pituitary gland can cause an overproduction of prolactin, leading to nipple discharge.
3. *Breast cancer or other tumors*: In rare cases, nipple discharge can be a symptom of breast cancer or other tumors.

I'm a bit worried about my child who was advised to use Duolin and Flohale for severe asthma. He's currently having an attack, and I'm wondering if I can mix Duolin 0.5 mg and Flohale 0.5 mg respules and give them together. Can you let me know if that's okay?

no they shouldn't be mixed together as they both serve same purpose
