I'm just wondering about the right dosage for Zincovit tablets for a 10-year-old kid and for adults. And I'm also curious about the right dosage for Celin 500mg in both kids and adults. Is the Celin tablet chewable?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For Zincovit:
- Children (10 years old): 1 tablet (containing 20mg zinc, 100mg vitamin C, and other multivitamins) once daily after meals,
- Adults: 1-2 tablets once or twice daily after meals.
For Celin 500mg:
- Children (10 years old): 250-500mg (12 to 1 tablet) once daily,
- Adults: 500mg (1 tablet) once daily. Celin 500mg tablets are not chewable; they should be swallowed whole with water.

View allMy daughter is 2 and a half years old and she's been dealing with a cold and cough since January. We saw a doctor who gave us some medicine, which helped with the cold but her cough hasn't gone away. She tends to cough especially at night while she's sleeping and again when she wakes up in the morning. We went back to the doctor and he mentioned that it might be early asthma symptoms and suggested we try LEVOLIN syrup for 5 days. He seemed optimistic and said asthma in kids can be cured with medicine. I'm really worried and curious about how common this is in young children and if there's anything specific I should watch for or do to help her. Does this seem like the right approach?

My son has a swollen lymph node on one side of his neck. It doesn't hurt him and there aren't any other symptoms. It's been like this for almost 5 months. We've already seen three doctors who said there's nothing serious, but I'm worried because when I look it up online, I start feeling anxious. Could this be something serious?
That couldbe reactive lymphnode for previos infections and as you say its been 5 months hence it is unusual,visit Pediatrician for evaluation and appropriate management

Can kids eat apples when they have a cold and cough? I'm really curious about which fruits are safe and beneficial for them right now. Could you also suggest the best diet or foods to include during a cold and cough for kids? I just want to make sure I'm doing the best for their health.
Yes, kids can eat apples during a cold and cough as they are easy to digest and contain vitamin C, which can help boost immunity. For a soothing diet, offer soft fruits like bananas, oranges, and pears, along with warm soups, broths, and plenty of fluids like water and herbal teas to stay hydrated and relieve congestion.
