Question 1

My daughter has been dealing with a cold for the last three weeks, and just recently, over the past two days, I've noticed tiny black particles coming from her runny nose. She has also had a fever three times this month. Right now, she's only showing cold symptoms. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Accepted Answer

take a course of antibiotic and start saline nasal drops

Question 2

I'm wondering if it's safe to use the old cough syrup and pain relief syrup for my toddler that we opened and used a bit of about 6 months ago. Should I be worried about its effectiveness or safety now?

Accepted Answer

Losartan (Losar 50) is typically taken once daily.

_Recommended Dosage Timing_

1. _Morning_: Take Losar 50 in the morning, with or without food, to help control blood pressure throughout the day.

_Why Morning?_

1. _Blood pressure control_: Morning dosing helps maintain blood pressure control during the day.
2. _Reduced nighttime effects_: Taking Losar 50 in the morning may minimize potential nighttime side effects, such as dizziness or lightheadedness.

_Previous Medication (Amlodipine 5)_

1. _Stopping medication abruptly_: Suddenly stopping Amlodipine 5 without consulting a doctor may lead to rebound hypertension.
2. _Consult a doctor_: Before stopping or changing any medication, consult a doctor to ensure safe and effective blood pressure management.

_Please Note_

1. _Monitor blood pressure regularly_: Regularly check your mother's blood pressure to ensure the medication is effective.

Question 3

I'm really worried about my 4-year-old daughter. Her latest urine test showed pus cells at 25-30 and epithelial cells at 34. About a year and a half ago, she had a mild urinary tract infection. How serious is her current situation? Should I be concerned about these numbers?

Accepted Answer

ALKALIZER CITRALKA HALF TEASPOON AFTER FOOD WITH WATER. FOR SEVEN TO TEN DAYS.

I'm a mother of a 4-month-old baby and I'm currently breastfeeding. I got the Covishield vaccine this morning and I'm wondering if it's safe for me to take Dolo 650 while I'm breastfeeding. Is that something you'd recommend?
