I'm really concerned about my child who's under 12 and has been complaining of stomach pain. I heard about Anafortan injection with camylofin hydrochloride, but I'm not sure what the right dose would be for someone that young. Can you help me figure this out?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The dose of Anafortan injection (camylofin hydrochloride) for children below 12 years old with stomach pain is usually 0.5 mg per kg of body weight, given intramuscularly. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for the exact dosage based on the child's weight and condition.

View allMy baby has been experiencing loose motion for the past couple of days and Im really worried. Is there any syrup or remedy you could suggest to help?
For a 1-year-old with loose motions, consult a pediatrician before administering any medication; however, they may recommend an oral rehydration solution like Pedialyte or Electral, and in some cases, a probiotic syrup like Lactobacillus or Saccharomyces boulardii to help restore gut balance.

I'm trying to understand my daughter's situation better. Her platelet count was 2.55 lakh on the 22nd of September. Today it dropped to 1.85 lakh, though her fever's reduced, and she's still on medication. Is her platelet count within normal range? Could you explain what this means for her health?
A normal platelet count ranges from 1.5 to 4.5 lakhs per microliter (L); your daughter's current platelet count of 1.85 lakhs is within the lower normal range, which is a good sign, especially since her fever has subsided; however, it's essential to continue monitoring her platelet count and overall health under the guidance of her healthcare provider to ensure the underlying condition is being effectively managed.

My baby has been having a fever since Wednesday, and the doctor gave us Meftal P syrup because her temperature is pretty high. I'm wondering, is it okay to give her the syrup every six hours or every four hours since her fever isn't coming down? I'm really concerned about making sure she's comfortable and getting better.
For children, Meftal P syrup can be given every 6-8 hours as needed for fever. The usual recommended dosage is 7-10 mg per kg of body weight per dose. However, it is important to consult with your doctor for the exact dosage based on your baby's weight and age. Make sure not to exceed the maximum daily dose.
