Question 2

I'm worried about my 11-month-old baby who weighs 9kg and has vomited twice. How much Calpol suspension should I give her? Is there any specific dosage I need to follow?

Accepted Answer

For an 11-month-old baby weighing 9kg, the recommended dosage of Calpol Suspension (containing paracetamol) is:

- 2.5-5 mL (60-120 mg) every 4-6 hours, as needed.

However, since your baby has vomited twice, consider the following:

- Consult your pediatrician before administering Calpol Suspension.
- Start with a small dose (2.5 mL or 60 mg) to check for tolerance.
- Monitor your baby's temperature and vomiting.
- If vomiting persists or worsens, seek medical attention.

Question 3

I'm a bit anxious about my baby boy who's almost 4 months old. He's been having frequent small bowel movements, and I've been giving him Bifilac sachets to help. Is it okay to keep using Bifilac regularly? Is it safe for him?

Accepted Answer

While Bifilac is generally considered safe for infants, long-term or repeated use without medical supervision can lead to an imbalance of gut flora or dependency on probiotics; consult your pediatrician before continuing Bifilac sachets, as they may recommend alternative probiotics, dietary changes, or investigate underlying causes of frequent small motions

I'm wondering if it's alright to combine Duolin 2ml and Budecort 3ml for a single nebulization session, or should I do them in separate rounds?

You can mix Duolin (2ml) and Budecort (3ml) in one nebulization session, as they are commonly used together for combined bronchodilator and anti-inflammatory effects. Just ensure you follow your doctor's instructions and the prescribed dosage for your condition.
