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
General Physician
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.

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.

Female | 24
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.

9 year old kid having non stop cough and running nose fever is settled after 5 days of Antibiotics, now there is only whooping cough and running nose
Female | 9
A persistent cough and runny nose could indicate whooping cough, especially if your baby recently had a fever and took antibiotics. Whooping cough is a contagious respiratory infection that causes severe coughing fits. Make sure your child rests, drinks plenty of water, and uses a cool-mist humidifier to ease the cough. Monitor their condition and contact their pediatrician if you have further concerns.

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.

Male | 2
Your baby's trouble peeing is worrying. Infrequent, small puddles aren't normal. Dehydration or infection could explain it. Few wet diapers raise red flags for babies. Even if reluctant, keep giving milk and water often. Have a pediatrician examine the issue promptly.

My baby is having watery poop from 3 days and today I noticed blood in her poop with muscu 4 5 times
Female | 5 months baby girl
Watery poop with blood may be a symptom of an infection or food intolerance. It is crucial to ensure that your baby gets enough fluids. Let her drink lots of fluids like water or breast milk. The best thing to do for the time being is to stay away from dairy products. If the symptoms persist, or if you come across any other alarming signs, please consult a pediatrician immediately.

Your baby girl of 2.5 months coughs and has thick mucus. Perhaps she has a cold or respiratory infection. Offer liquids to keep her hydrated. Cool-mist humidifiers can help. Use a nasal suction bulb gently on her nose. Seek a pediatrician immediately if she has fever or breathes hard.

Fever and teething can make babies shaky. Sometimes, fever can be a symptom of an infection. Ensure that your baby gets enough fluids and be sure to give them plenty of sleep. You can use a damp cloth to help reduce the fever. If the fever continues or if your baby appears unwell, it's crucial to visit a pediatrician.

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.

Baby seems like he has been constipated
Male | 2 month
Constipation takes place when someone struggles passing bowel movements. Babies might seem irritable, avoid pooping regularly, or produce firm stools. This occurs due to inadequate hydration, dietary fiber, or fruits and vegetables. Ensuring your child consumes sufficient fluids and fiber-rich foods can alleviate discomfort. However, if the issue persists, consulting a pediatrician is advisable.

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.

Female | 8
Your daughter seems to be struggling with a persistent cough, especially during playtime and with sudden weather changes. Considering her history of lung infections, the pneumococcal vaccination might be a good option. This vaccine helps protect against bacteria that can cause serious illnesses like pneumonia, supporting her lung health. Please check with her pediatrician to see if she is eligible for the vaccine.

Rashes often appear on the baby's bottoms. This is common and not serious. Diapers cause wetness, and irritating skin. To relieve rash, change diapers regularly. Apply gentle baby cream. Let the skin air out sometimes. However, if the rash worsens or persists, consult a pediatrician.

My son se 8 year old he has 3 tablets of Imodium know he was breathing very heavyly and some time he was perfectly alright plz help me
Male | 8
This can be caused by the fact that Imodium may slow down your son's metabolic function. When he is breathing heavily, he is essentially trying to increase the oxygen flow to his body. Please do not give him extra Imodium. Likewise, keep an eye on him to see if he goes back to breathing normally again. If he keeps on having breathing issues, it is necessary to visit a pediatrician.

I have 15 months baby can I use spasan Noel tablet
Female | 22
Giving a 15-month-old baby Spasmonel tablets is dangerous. These pills are not for babies and might bring harm to them. In the case that your baby is having stomach issues or is feeling some kind of discomfort, it's better to use some mild tools such as holding him/her tenderly, giving water, or attempting a warm bath. Get advice from a pediatrician if symptoms do not improve or get worse.
