I'm experiencing some mild itching and discomfort around my anus, mostly during the night. It's starting to worry me a bit because I think it might be pinworms. I'm considering taking a deworming medication but I'm not sure what would be best. Could you give me a prescription and suggest the dosage?

My 3-year-old son has had a runny nose and viral fever frequently over the past two years. Weve been to the doctor, and they prescribed some meds, but they don't seem to be working. For his fever, they've given us Ibugesic, and for his cough and cold, they suggested something else. I'm really concerned, could you give us some advice on what else we might try or what could be going on?
It seems your son may have recurrent viral infections, which can sometimes be common in young children due to their developing immune system. I recommend discussing with your pediatrician about further investigations, such as assessing for allergies or other underlying conditions. In the meantime, maintaining good hydration, rest, and using prescribed medications as directed can help manage symptoms.

I'm really worried because my 4-year-old has been having loose motions. What syrup can I give him to help with this?
A child of 4 years old suffering from loose motions can be given syrup containing Racecadotril. The recommended dosage for Racecadotril syrup in children is 1.5 mg per kg of body weight per dose, to be taken 3 times a day. It is important to consult with a pediatrician for proper evaluation and guidance.
