Is it okay to give Sizodon syrup to my 3.5-year-old who has autism? The doctor recommended it for his hyperactivity, and he's been on it for the past six months. I'm worried and don't really want to continue with it. If I stop the syrup, will there be any side effects, or should I just keep going with it? I'm really looking for advice on this.

Stopping the medication abruptly can lead to withdrawal symptoms or a return of the symptoms for which the medication was prescribed (hyperactivity, agitation). It's essential to consult with your doctor before stopping Sizodon. A healthcare provider may suggest gradual tapering off the medication to avoid withdrawal effects and to reassess the management of your child's symptoms.

I'm a new mom and currently breastfeeding my 1-month-old baby. I've been experiencing a fever and I'm wondering if it's safe for me to take Crocin Advance tablets. If it's okay to take them, what would be the right dosage?

Possible Causes:_ 1. *Gum bleeding*: Gingivitis or gum inflammation can cause bleeding. 2. *Dry mouth*: Reduced saliva production can lead to bleeding gums. 3. *Oral trauma*: Injury to the mouth, tongue, or lips can cause bleeding. 4. *Dental issues*: Tooth decay, abscess, or gum disease can cause bleeding. _What to Do:_ 1. *Visit a dentist*: Schedule an appointment to rule out underlying dental issues. 2. *Maintain good oral hygiene*: Brush and floss regularly to prevent gum disease. 3. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to keep your mouth moist. 4. *Avoid smoking and tobacco*: These can exacerbate gum disease and oral health issues.

My little one is 2 years and 2 months old, and I'm thinking about starting Junior Horlicks Stage 1. I'm unsure what the right age is since I noticed that both the Stage 1 and Stage 2 packs mention not giving it to children under 2 years old, but there's no more detailed age info. Could you help me with when might be a good time to start?

no problem you can take
