  5. I'm really worried because my 18-month-old son needs his IPV and Hib vaccines, but our doctor says they're not available. It's been over two weeks since he was supposed to get them. What should I do? Is there a way to find where the vaccines might be available, or should I be concerned about the delay?

A creatinine level of 2.3 is considered high and may not be safe for angiography. High creatinine levels can indicate kidney damage or disease, which may be exacerbated by the contrast dye used in angiography . To reduce high creatinine levels, consider the following: - *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to help your kidneys function properly. - *Follow a low-protein diet*: Excessive protein can put strain on your kidneys. - *Limit salt and sugar intake*: Both can exacerbate kidney damage. - *Exercise regularly*: Regular physical activity can help improve kidney function. - *Manage underlying conditions*: If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or other conditions that can affect kidney function, work with your doctor to manage them effectively. Given your continuously rising creatinine levels, it's essential to consult with your doctor to determine the best course of action. They may recommend alternative tests or procedures that don't involve contrast dye.

My 2-year-old daughter has a fever of 103, and we've tried giving her continuous sponge baths, but it's not coming down. We also gave her 4 ml of Meftal P suspension, but then she vomited an hour later. Should I give her another dose, and when is it ...

Since fever has just started and she has vomited just once it is best to wait and watch. You can give crocin at 6 hour interval if temperature is above 100F. Also give plenty of fluids such as ORS to avoid dehydration. If however such high fever recurs or vomiting continues or there are any other symptoms you must consult a doctor for physical examination to exclude dehydration or serious causes of fever.

I'm really concerned about my 4-year-old son. I've noticed that some family members tend to give Brandy to kids, even those younger than him, when they have a cough or cold. I've seen the warning labels on Brandy bottles, so I'm a bit confused and wo...

Brandy is not recommended for children, especially at such a young age. It can have harmful effects on their developing bodies. Instead, you can give your child over-the-counter medications like Children's Tylenol or Children's Motrin for relief from cough and cold symptoms. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage based on your child's weight and age.
