Question 1

My little one has been dealing with a really stubborn cough and cold, and his nose just won't stop running. It's been going on for almost 4 months now. We've been trying homeopathic treatments, but it doesnt seem to be helping much. This seems to happen every year, and Im getting a bit worried. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

give tablet montec lc for 1 week at night and syrup ascoril twice a day

Question 2

I'm really worried because my 4-year-old has been having loose motions. What syrup can I give him to help with this?

Accepted Answer

A child of 4 years old suffering from loose motions can be given syrup containing Racecadotril. The recommended dosage for Racecadotril syrup in children is 1.5 mg per kg of body weight per dose, to be taken 3 times a day. It is important to consult with a pediatrician for proper evaluation and guidance.

Question 3

my son had TB and just had intestine surgery should I get the whole family checked for TB too

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's highly recommended to get the whole family tested for TB. Since your son had intestinal TB, which is usually not contagious, it's still a good idea to get the family checked, especially if your son had active TB in the lungs or throat. People with active TB are most likely to spread it to close contacts, including family members. If your son had pulmonary or laryngeal TB, there's a higher risk of transmission to household members. If your son had abdominal TB, which is less likely to spread, testing family members is still a good precaution

I'm really worried because I used Flutivate cream on my son's burn wound, and it seems like the wound has only gotten worse. I'm not sure what went wrong. I have MUPI cream at homewould it be okay to try using that instead? What do you suggest I do?

u can use mupirocin ointment twice daily if it doesnt gets better ot becoming worse visit your doctor for appropriate treatment.
