Question 1

I'm really worried about my 2-year-old son. He had surgery on his head a few weeks ago, and the doctor prescribed him 5ml of Advent twice a day. Now it's been about three weeks post-surgery, and today he's having really bad diarrhea and headaches. I've tried giving him oranges to help, but I'm not sure if that's enough. Can you give me some advice on what I should do next?

Accepted Answer

Stop advent,  diarrhoea is its side effect.

Question 2

My 10-year-old daughter had a fever, which thankfully went away after she took cefprozil, Alex PBifilac, and Pritexylls junior. However, she's still dealing with a really annoying dry cough, especially at night, which is making it hard for her to sleep well. We started giving her Kasnajiva and SeptilinhIMALAYA yesterday, but the cough hasn't improved much. Do you have any suggestions on what we should do next or if there's something else we could try? I'm really worried about her lack of sleep.

Accepted Answer

Continue same treatment for 5 days is advised to the patient.

Question 3

I'm really worried because my little cousin accidentally drank 25 ml of Dettol Antiseptic Liquid that I had in a measurement cup. Its been about half an hour since then, and he just complained of a bit of irritation on his tongue. Theres no abdominal pain or nausea at the moment. He did drink a lot of warm water afterward, but I'm still anxious about whether hell be okay or if any other symptoms might show up. Could you please let me know what I should do?

Accepted Answer

Your symptoms suggest a possible case of:

Recurring mouth ulcers or
Dry mouth (xerostomia) with irritation

The location, near the left tonsil, could be related to:

Tonsillitis or
Tonsil stones

Sleeping on your left side may exacerbate the issue due to:

Dry air irritating the area or
Pressure on the left side of your mouth

Consult an:

Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist or
Dentist

for a thorough examination and guidance.

I'm really concerned about a 4-month-old baby who's been having a fever for a whole week now. Yesterday, we got his blood and urine reports, and they showed an increased CRP level of 30 points when it should be around 5. Does this mean something serious? What should we do next?

Yes high CRP says there is active infection needs a complete course of antibiotics,no need to woory follow your doctors advice and give your baby adequate feed
