I'm wondering if it's safe to use the old cough syrup and pain relief syrup for my toddler that we opened and used a bit of about 6 months ago. Should I be worried about its effectiveness or safety now?

Losartan (Losar 50) is typically taken once daily.
Recommended Dosage Timing
- Morning: Take Losar 50 in the morning, with or without food, to help control blood pressure throughout the day.
Why Morning?
- Blood pressure control: Morning dosing helps maintain blood pressure control during the day.
- Reduced nighttime effects: Taking Losar 50 in the morning may minimize potential nighttime side effects, such as dizziness or lightheadedness.
Previous Medication (Amlodipine 5)
- Stopping medication abruptly: Suddenly stopping Amlodipine 5 without consulting a doctor may lead to rebound hypertension.
- Consult a doctor: Before stopping or changing any medication, consult a doctor to ensure safe and effective blood pressure management.
Please Note
- Monitor blood pressure regularly: Regularly check your mother's blood pressure to ensure the medication is effective.

View allMy child recently had a fever, so we took him to the child care hospital. They did some blood and urine tests, and the doctor told us everything was normal. However, I noticed that the neutrophil count in his WBC was quite low. The tested count came in at 12, whereas I believe the actual count should be around 1744. Should I be worried about these low neutrophil levels?
A low neutrophil count, also known as neutropenia, can make your child more susceptible to infections. In this case, since the tested count is 12% and the normal range is 17-44%, it is slightly below the normal range. To help increase the neutrophil count and boost your child's immune system, you can consider giving them supplements like Neupogen (Filgrastim) at a dosage recommended by the doctor. Additionally, ensuring your child maintains good hygiene practices and eats a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables can also help improve their immune system. It is important to follow up with the doctor for further evaluation and monitoring of your child's neutrophil count to ensure it returns to the normal range. Regular check-ups and blood tests may be recommended to track the progress.

My 5-month-old baby has been having loose motions for the past 23 days. We've been giving her Enterogermina, Neopeptine, and Rantop, but she's still experiencing it about 23 times a day. I'm really worried and was wondering if you have any suggestions on what we could do to help her get better quickly.
