Question 1

My 3-year-old has been complaining about stomach pain for the past 30 minutes, pointing to their stomach. I tried giving them Pudin Hara, but it hasn't helped. They've never had this kind of pain before. For lunch, they ate dal made from raw gram. Could you advise on what I should do right away?

Question 2

I'm trying to understand the difference between Zincovit and Zincovit CL and if it's safe to give either of these to a 10-year-old. Is there a particular one that's better, like the tablet or syrup form, for kids around that age?

Accepted Answer

Zincovit and Zincovit CL are both multivitamin supplements, but Zincovit CL also contains added zinc and vitamin C. Zincovit CL can be given to a 10-year-old child. For a 10-year-old, it is generally recommended to give the Zincovit CL syrup as it is easier to swallow and dose accurately compared to tablets.

Question 3

My child was given 4 ml of Ondem syrup for vomiting, and after 6 hours, we gave the syrup again. But this time, he got really itchy and his lower lip started to swell up. Can you help me understand what might have gone wrong and what we should do now? This has me pretty worried.
