Question 1

My baby is only a month old and has a nose block which makes it hard for him to breathe. I am worried about him and want to know if it's okay to use Nasivion 0.025 for a little one his age.

Question 2

My child has been diagnosed with childhood asthma and it's really worrying me. He wheezes constantly and the treatment doesn't seem to be helping. It seems to get worse in the evenings, but the wheeze is always there no matter what. I use a nebuliser with Asthavent but it doesn't seem to ease the wheezing at all. The strange thing is, when he lies down, the wheezing disappears. He's even been hospitalized for respiratory distress before. What can I do or try next? I'm really concerned about his condition.

Accepted Answer

Question 3

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?

Accepted Answer

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.

I've been taking Cherifer PGM food supplement for a month now, and I'm wondering what time of day is best to take it. Also, I had to stop for a week because I was on another medication and resumed two weeks later. Is that okay?
