I'm really worried because my 18-month-old son needs his IPV and Hib vaccines, but our doctor says they're not available. It's been over two weeks since he was supposed to get them. What should I do? Is there a way to find where the vaccines might be available, or should I be concerned about the delay?

A creatinine level of 2.3 is considered high and may not be safe for angiography. High creatinine levels can indicate kidney damage or disease, which may be exacerbated by the contrast dye used in angiography .

To reduce high creatinine levels, consider the following:

Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help your kidneys function properly.

Follow a low-protein diet: Excessive protein can put strain on your kidneys.

Limit salt and sugar intake: Both can exacerbate kidney damage.

Exercise regularly: Regular physical activity can help improve kidney function.

Manage underlying conditions: If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or other conditions that can affect kidney function, work with your doctor to manage them effectively.

Given your continuously rising creatinine levels, it's essential to consult with your doctor to determine the best course of action. They may recommend alternative tests or procedures that don't involve contrast dye.

I'm really concerned about my baby who's just 2 months old. My in-laws keep giving him a honey nipple whenever he cries at night. I'm worried he might be getting used to it or needs it to calm down instead of naturally settling. Could there be any side effects from him suckling on a honey nipple? And how can I help him break this habit if it's not good for him?

I'm giving my 18-month-old son Sinarest AF for his cold. I've been giving him 4ml three times a day for the past three days, and he seems to be getting better with it. I'm wondering if it's safe to continue using this medication in the future whenever he catches a cold. Is it okay to keep doing this?

Sinarest-AF is a combination medication that contains Paracetamol, Phenylephrine, and Chlorpheniramine. It is commonly used to relieve symptoms of cold and flu. In children, especially under 2 years old, the safety and efficacy of Phenylephrine and Chlorpheniramine are not well established. It is recommended to consult with a pediatrician before giving Sinarest-AF to children under 2 years old. For cold symptoms in children, it is important to focus on supportive care such as ensuring adequate rest, hydration, and a healthy diet. If your son has cold symptoms in the future, it is best to consult with a pediatrician for appropriate treatment options.
