My son has had a fever since yesterday afternoon and I gave him paracetamol, which seemed to help for a bit. This morning, we saw a doctor nearby who advised on cidaflox 100 and macfast syrup. But now, his fever is up to 102. What should I do?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Cidaflox-100: This is an antibiotic (Ciprofloxacin) that is often used for bacterial infections. Ensure that you give the full course as prescribed, even if the fever improves. Don't stop the medication early unless instructed by the doctor. Macfast Syrup: This is typically used to treat gastrointestinal symptoms or inflammation if the fever continues to rise despite medication, or if new symptoms develop (e.g., rash, difficulty breathing, persistent vomiting, severe headache, or persistent pain), consult a doctor immediately. If your son experiences any side effects or signs of an allergic reaction to the medication (such as rashes, swelling, or difficulty breathing), stop the medication and seek medical attention right away.Continue paracetamol as per the prescribed dosage for fever control. Ensure hydration and rest. Monitor symptoms regularly, especially if the fever persists or worsens. Consult the doctor if the fever does not respond to treatment, or if new symptoms develop.

View allI'm really concerned about my 4-year-old daughter's cough. She's been having it repeatedly for the past 45 months. Sometimes it's dry and other times it's wet. It often happens in the middle of the night or early morning. We tried homeopathy, which helped a little for a while, but it didn't fix it permanently. Is there a chance for a permanent cure, or is it something not to worry too much about?

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.

Im wondering how often I can give my baby Woodward's gripe water. My baby seems to have a lot of wind, and Im not sure if gripe water is the right thing to use for that. How many times a day would be safe? Also, Ive heard about Colicaid drops, but Im a bit confused about their difference from gripe water. When should I give Colicaid drops instead of gripe water?
Woodward's Gripe Water can be given to your baby up to 3-4 times a day, usually after meals or when your baby is feeling gassy. It helps relieve gas and bloating. Colicaid drops are specifically for relieving colic pain, given when your baby seems to have discomfort due to trapped gas or cramps. Gripe water is more for general wind relief. Always consult your pediatrician before giving any medication.
