Question 1

My child has been having a cough for about three weeks now. We were advised to use monocef and phensedyl, but a week ago, she caught a cold and we switched to using moxikind. Now she's got both cold and cough again. Can we use moxikind for her cold while still giving her monocef and phensedyl for the cough? I'm a bit worried and just want to make sure we're doing the right thing.

Accepted Answer

Let's break down the information about Noculi B-6 syrup.

- *Dosage and Composition*: Noculi B-6 contains Magnesium Citrate (375 mg5 ml), Potassium Citrate (1100 mg5 ml), and Pyridoxine (20 mg5 ml)  . Since you're taking 15 ml at a time, the dosage would be:
    - Magnesium Citrate: 1125 mg (375 mg5 ml * 3)
    - Potassium Citrate: 3300 mg (1100 mg5 ml * 3)
    - Pyridoxine: 60 mg (20 mg5 ml * 3)

- *Treatment Duration*: The treatment duration for kidney stones using Noculi B-6 syrup isn't specified. It's best to consult your doctor for personalized guidance, as they can assess your condition and provide a tailored treatment plan.

- *Side Effects*: Common side effects of Noculi B-6 syrup include vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, allergic reactions, and abdominal discomfort  . If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, consult your doctor promptly.

Question 2

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.

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

My 26-month-old son's penis head balloons when he pees but urine flows continuously without breaks. The ballooning only lasts about 10 seconds while he's urinating. He doesn't seem to be in pain or straining. Our pediatrician suggested circumcision, but due to our religious beliefs, our family is against it. We're really worried the doctor also mentioned trying to gently pull back the foreskin with oil or becnovet cream. My wife and I are stressed, especially since I had tight foreskin too as a teen and remember how uncomfortable it was. Is this ballooning a serious issue? We really want to avoid surgery if possible.

I'm trying to find a good soap for my 8-year-old son that we can use regularly. I've been using Himalaya, but I'm wondering if there's something else you would recommend. Can you help me out with some suggestions?
