Question 1

Im really worried about my 6-year-old daughter. Shes been running a high fever for the past two days. Our doctor recommended giving her both Calpol and Meftal-P, 6 ml each. Is it okay to administer both of these at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is safe to give Calpol (paracetamol) along with Meftal P (mefenamic acid) for fever in children. Both medications work in different ways to reduce fever and can be given together as per your doctor's recommendation.

Question 2

I'm really worried about my 24-day-old baby girl who cries a lot at night. We initially thought it was gas since that's pretty common with newborns, so we've been giving her Crosin drops as suggested by our paediatrician. I'm wondering if it's safe to keep giving her 4 drops daily? Are there any other medicines you would recommend? She seems to be doing well otherwise - she sleeps and eats well, with no fever or unusual symptoms. We feed her every 2.5 hours and her bowel movements are normal. Any advice on why she might be crying so much?

Accepted Answer

Avoid givig crocin and ask your doctor to give digestive enzymes like Colic aid or neopetine,that would help you

Question 3

I'm really worried about my 4 and a half-month-old daughter. She's got these small red pimple-like spots on her cheeks, just a few of them. I spoke to a doctor who suggested using Physiogel Hypoallergenic moisturizer, but after applying it for two days, there's been no improvement. Are these spots normal, or is there something else I should be doing? I've attached a picture for reference.
