Question 1

Is it normal for my 2.5-year-old to be passing more gas than usual? It's been happening for a couple of weeks now. I'm giving him polyethylene glycol for constipation, so I'm wondering if that could be related. Should I be concerned?

Visit your doctor for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 2

I'm really concerned about my 5-year-old daughter. Her recent urine test showed pus cells in the range of 8-10 per HPF. Is this something we should be worried about? What's considered normal for a child her age? I'm worried if this could be dangerous...

Accepted Answer

The normal ratio of pus cells in the urine of a 5-year-old girl is usually less than 5 per high power field (HPF). Therefore, 8-10 pus cells per HPF may indicate an infection. While a UTI is not usually dangerous, it is important to treat it promptly to prevent complications such as kidney infection. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

My child has a really high fever, and their temperature is at 102F. The doctor suggested giving them Meftal, but even after taking one dose, the fever hasn't gone down. What should I do next, should I keep giving the medication or try something else?...

Accepted Answer

The medication Meftal is commonly used to reduce fever and relieve pain. In this case, since the fever is still high at 102F after taking Meftal, you can consider giving your child Acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) at a dose appropriate for their age and weight. It is important to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging or as advised by your doctor. Additionally, make sure your child stays hydrated and dress them lightly to help reduce the fever. If the fever persists or if your child's condition worsens, please consult your doctor for further evaluation.

Accepted Answer

Brandy is not recommended for children, especially at such a young age. It can have harmful effects on their developing bodies. Instead, you can give your child over-the-counter medications like Children's Tylenol or Children's Motrin for relief from cough and cold symptoms. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage based on your child's weight and age.
