Question 1

I'm a first-time mom, and my baby is now 14 days old. For the past week, she's been crying for almost three hours every night and sometimes during the day too. We tried giving her colic medicine for four days, but she keeps crying. With this Covid situation, it's really hard to visit a hospital. Is this something normal?

Accepted Answer

You may be experiencing symptoms of pinworm infection. For this condition, you can try using over-the-counter medication like Albendazole. The usual dosage for Albendazole in adults is a single dose of 400mg. It is important to follow the instructions on the package insert or as directed by your healthcare provider. Additionally, maintaining good hygiene practices such as washing hands regularly, keeping nails short, and washing bedding and clothing frequently can help prevent the spread of the infection.

I'm really concerned about my 10-month-old baby. Her head feels warm but her hands and body are either normal or kind of cold. She's also experiencing constant diarrhea and vomiting. Do you have any advice on what this could be or what I should do for her?

Paediatric opinion is advised to the patient.
