I'm really worried because my 4-year-old has been having loose motions. What syrup can I give him to help with this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI'm really concerned about my baby. A few days back, he had yellow fluid coming from his eyes and they seemed watery. The doctor suggested we use ciplox eye drops for five days, which cleared up the fluid, but now he's blinking a lot like his eyes are dry and he keeps rubbing them. I even tried massaging to open the blocked duct, and while the redness and fluid went away, his gaze seems off, like his vision might be blurry. And he also had a fever last week, which was relieved with macpod syrup, but his eye issue is still there. What should I do about it?

I'm really concerned because my mom, my 17-month-old son, and I ate a mango that had these white maggot-like worms in it. My mom and I ended up vomiting afterward, and we even saw some of the worms still moving. I'm really worried about whether this could have any effects, especially on my son. Can you offer any advice on what I should do?
The worms you are describing may be parasitic worms that can cause health issues. You should consult a healthcare professional to get the proper diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, you can consider taking Albendazole 400mg tablet as a deworming medication for adults. For your 17-month-old son, you can give him Albendazole suspension in a dosage appropriate for his weight. Make sure to follow the dosage instructions provided by the healthcare professional.
