I'm worried about my 4-year-old who's been having frequent fevers. Every month it's the same story, and all the doctors we've seen keep recommending this P250 syrup. We've already used more than one and a half bottles and there's still no improvement. Is it really okay for him to be taking so much P250, like more than one or two bottles? Are there any risks involved with giving it to him regularly, especially since he's had all his vaccines but just can't seem to shake the fever?

Giving P250 (Paracetamol) to your child for fever is a common practice, but it is important to ensure that the dosage is appropriate and does not exceed the recommended limits. P250 contains Paracetamol which is generally safe when taken at the correct dosage. However, excessive use or overdose of Paracetamol can lead to serious health issues, including liver damage. Since your child is experiencing frequent fevers, it is advisable to consult with the doctor to investigate the underlying cause of these recurrent fevers. Depending on the diagnosis, the doctor may recommend alternative treatments or further investigations to address the root cause of the fevers. In the meantime, if your child continues to have fever episodes, you can continue giving P250 as per the doctor's recommendation.

View allI'm really worried about my 16-month-old. She started vomiting and then having watery poo a few days ago. On Sunday, she threw up about 5 to 6 times from 6 pm to 10:30 pm, so we gave her 2.5 ml of ondem syrup, and it seemed to stop the vomiting. But on Monday, she started having loose motions pretty soon after eating, like within 15 to 20 minutes, and it happened more than 10 times. By Tuesday, her poo was just watery once, and she seemed okay. But then on Wednesday morning, after breastfeeding, she vomited twice and she's been refusing to eat anything. Plus, she's had more than 8 episodes of watery poo and cries every time she goes. The crying during poo is worrying me. How can I help stop the vomiting and loose stools and maybe get her to eat something? It's been tough seeing her like this.
It sounds like your baby may be dealing with a stomach infection or digestive upset. Continue giving Ondem syrup for vomiting as needed and focus on keeping her hydrated with oral rehydration solutions (ORS). For the loose motions, avoid dairy and fatty foods, and offer easily digestible foods like boiled rice or plain toast once she feels better. If symptoms persist or worsen, its best to consult her pediatrician.

I'm really worried about my 16-year-old son who has a vitamin deficiency. He's been taking Supradyn tablets for a while now, but he's supposed to continue them for a few more months. We're not in the best financial situation, so I was wondering if Neurobion Forte could be a cheaper alternative. Would it provide the same benefits for his deficiency?
Yes, Neurobion forte can be a suitable alternative for vitamin deficiency. It contains essential B vitamins such as B1, B6, and B12 which can help in improving overall health and energy levels. The recommended dosage for Neurobion forte is one tablet per day. It can be a cost-effective option for your family considering your background.

My daughter's been coughing since October and at first, it was just like any normal cough. After three days of this, we took her to see her pediatrician who prescribed some meds and antibiotics. She's basically been on one medication or another since then. We've even seen a few doctors, like a general physician, another pediatrician, and a pulmonologist, but nothing's working. She coughs so much at night that sometimes she ends up vomiting. We're really worried and feel helpless about her health. She's on an inhaler and other meds for her cough and cold right now. Can someone offer any advice for us concerned parents?
Yes,continue same treatment.Ecg and x-ray chest pa view is advised to the patient.
