My daughter (4.8 years, 25.5 kgs) needs to get a sample collected for CBC and other tests. How can I apply Topical cream on her hand to ease her needle insertion pain?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Toplap (numbing) cream can help reduce needle pain for your child. Apply a thick layer (like toothpaste) on the area where the blood will be drawn (usually the front of the elbow) about 45 to 60 minutes before the test. Cover it with plastic wrap or a waterproof dressing to enhance absorption. Remove the cream just before the blood draw and clean the area. Let the lab staff know you have applied the cream for smooth handling during the test.

Hi. I am suffering from heavy and prolonged periods after I missed my period last month. My pregnancy test report came negative. I got my periods after one month and it is heavy and almost 10 days now and not reducing. I have Tranexamic acid 500 mg and Mefenamic acid 250 mg tablets earlier given by my gynecologist with me. Can I take it to stop my periods? Can anyone please suggest the dosage for the same?
