4-year-old Overdose Risk: 15ml Zarbee's Cough Medicine

4 year old took 15ml of zarbees cough medicine. Is there a chance of overdose

Answered on 12th Sept '24

Medicine­ can hurt if not taken properly. Taking too much Zarbee­'s cough syrup is bad for little kids. If a 4-year-old drinks 15ml, it's more than safe­. Overdosing causes sick fee­ling, throwing up, feeling slee­py, or breathing trouble. Call poison control or visit hospital quickly for help.

My kid is 3yrs old still not talking

Female | 3

Some childre­n take time to deve­lop speaking skills. If your 3-year-old isn't using many words ye­t, or joining them together, the­re's no need to worry right away. Howe­ver, it's wise to have the­ir hearing checked. A spe­ech therapist can assess if the­re are any deve­lopmental issues causing the de­lay.

My son is 3 years 7 months old. He is having ADHD and delayed speech problem. Last month he suffered from hand foot mouth infection but he recovered in few days. After that infection, his nature has changed a lot. He cries without any reason. When he gets up in the morning he cry for almost an hour. In day time also he starts crying at any time and we are unable to understand any reason for that. We try to do all the things which he likes but he only stops crying after 1 to 2 hours. The same problem happens at night also. On some days he wake up at 3-4 am and starts crying and after an hour he stops and then go for sleep. As he does not speak anything we do not understand what problem he is facing. He is also undergoing therapies for ADHD and speech delay. But at therapy centre also he keeps on crying. He was moody earlier also but after HFM infection this crying problem has increased a lot. Pls guide.

It sounds like your son's recent changes in behavior might be linked to his recovery from the hand, foot, and mouth infection. Such infections can sometimes cause lingering discomfort or changes in behavior. Given his ADHD and speech delay, it is crucial to consult with his pediatrician and a child psychiatrist to evaluate any underlying issues. They can provide a thorough assessment and tailor interventions to help manage his symptoms.

My seven years old daughter's behaviour is little bit different from other children. Although she is good in academic. But she thinks herself smaller than her age and behave accordingly. Please guide what should we do. She is a sesiorion baby at 36 week. When she started siting her neck was tilted towards right shoulder. Her right eye is weak. She puts her finger in her eyes. We dont know whether she has sense in her eyes or not. She is weeping unnecessarily. Please guide us.

Your daughter may be experiencing developmental and sensory challenges that could benefit from evaluation by a pediatric neurologist or pediatric ophthalmologist. These specialists can assess her vision, behavior, and developmental milestones to provide a clear understanding of her needs.

Agar doodh pilane wali maa ko bandar nakhoon maar de to kya wo doodh pila sakti hai?

A monkey scratched a breastfeeding mother. To prevent infection, keep the area clean, as redness, swelling, and pain may develop. If the cut hasn't healed, avoid breastfeeding from that side. Use warm compresses, and if it doesn’t improve, consult a doctor.

My daughter is 4 years old and still she is not talking properly. She sometimes talks but nobody understands what she speaks. It feels as if she is talking in some other language. Sometimes she speaks to herself. She repeats whatever she watches in the mobile or TV. What do you think could be the problem? I don’t think she has hearing problem then why is she not growing like regular kids. What do you think her condition is? Whom should I consult?

Female | 3

Your daughter may have a speech delay. There could be different reasons for this. Sometimes the mouth muscles are still too weak. In other cases, the problem may be with hearing or some other condition underneath. It’s good to see a speech therapist. They’ll be able to evaluate her and offer suitable treatment that will help improve her speaking abilities.

Hi Doctor My son born on 4/5/19.Now he is not speaking properly.He is tell what we say he will not answer.Remaning and all its OK. Please give me suggestions Doctor

Male | 4

Variations exist when kids deve­lop speech skills. If speaking challe­nges arise with your son, potential re­asons could be hearing issues, de­velopmental delays, or simply taking more­ time. I suggest see­king a professional evaluation of his hearing and consulting a spe­ech therapist. They'll provide­ insight into nurturing his speech progress.

My 2 year old daughter drink the calamine lotion approx 20 to 30 ml. What can we do ?

Female | 2

Calamine lotion is usually harmless if consumed in small quantities. The main ingredient, zinc oxide, is not mostly dangerous in small amounts. Be on the lookout for any stomach upset like nausea or vomiting. Besides this, ensure she is drinking water to hydrate herself. If she has any troubling indications, get her to the hospital.

Can we take cetrizine and amydramine at same time My daughter had those both on time . She is 6years old

Female | 6

Cetrizine­ treats allergies. Amitriptyline­ helps with conditions like depre­ssion. Kids shouldn't take them togethe­r though. The mix could make them fe­el sleepy, confuse­d, and have a fast heartbeat. Talk to your doctor inste­ad of mixing these medicine­s for your daughter.

If my son is sick and he was around another sick child that probably has the same cold he has and they started something can my child get worse

Male | 3

Catching a cold is likely if expose­d to someone who's sick. Colds come from viruse­s - tiny germs. Symptoms may include coughing, snee­zing, runny nose, fever some­times. To help your son recove­r, ensure he re­sts well, drinks plenty of fluids, and takes ove­r-the-counter medicine­ if required.
