Question 1

I'm a bit worried about how safe it is to use a nebulizer for my baby. The doctor recommended using Astalin with a small sachet-like bottle for 5 minutes, then stopping for 15 minutes before using it again for another 5 minutes, and repeating this process three times in one session, twice a day. I'm really concerned if this could be toxic for my baby's heart.

Accepted Answer

Administering nebulization with Asthalin (salbutamol) via a nebulizer is generally safe for babies when done correctly and under medical supervision; the recommended dosing schedule of 5 minutes of nebulization, followed by a 15-minute break, repeated for a total of 3 cycles, twice a day, is a common and effective regimen; however, it's essential to monitor your baby's heart rate and overall condition during and after nebulization, as salbutamol can increase heart rate and cause palpitations;

Question 2

I'm wondering if it's okay to use Zandu Balm or Vicks for steam inhalation with my son? Is it safe for kids? Also, could you guide me on the best way to give steam inhalation to children?

Question 3

Im really worried about my 6-year-old daughter. Shes been running a high fever for the past two days. Our doctor recommended giving her both Calpol and Meftal-P, 6 ml each. Is it okay to administer both of these at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is safe to give Calpol (paracetamol) along with Meftal P (mefenamic acid) for fever in children. Both medications work in different ways to reduce fever and can be given together as per your doctor's recommendation.

I'm a bit worried because I put T Minic drops in my 4-month-old baby's nose and she cried afterward. She eventually calmed down, but could this be something I should be worried about?

usually there is no problem after giving t mimic drop but consult ent if there is any bleeding from nose or any nasal problrms
