Giving Dexamethasone to a 7 Month Old Baby: What's the Safe Dose?

Can I give my 7 months baby Dexamethasone? What is the required dose?

Answered on 23rd May '24

Not recommended to give Dexamethasone to your 7 month old unless you consult a pediatrician or a specialist. Dexamethasone is a steroid drug that is used to treat a variety of conditions, but its use in infants needs to be done after careful consideration of the dosage and side effects. Please consult a pediatrician for advice on your baby's specific case and treatment options.

Male | 36

If a rat bites you, watch out for further developments regarding your muscular dystrophy. If the signs of inflammation of your hand appear such as redness, swelling, warmth, or pus you may require antibiotics which will need to be prescribed by a doctor. Act fast, to avoid complications. Do not be afraid to contact your doctor for any additional instructions.

Low energy and fever may indicate an infection. Low blood pressure can cause fatigue. Ask your doctor to explain properly the diagnosis of this condition. Rest with plenty of fluids, but if necessary, take fever-reducing medication.

Male | 24

Your symptoms are concerning. A fever lasting 4 months, joint pain, chest pain, and coughing up blood, are serious warning signs. These could indicate tuberculosis, pneumonia, or an autoimmune disease. It's important to see a doctor immediately. They will examine you, run tests to determine the cause and provide the necessary treatment.

Im 5 feet 7 inch tall and i want to gain at least 4 inchs is it possible

Male | 25

Gaining 4 inches in height after reaching adulthood is highly unlikely and practically impossible through natural means.. While there are surgical procedures like Limb lengthening that can increase height artificially, they are highly invasive, expensive, and carry significant risks, making them an unsuitable option for most people. Moreover, 4 inches of heught increase cannot be gauranteed.

If your eyes are burning, dry, or red, these could be signs of allergies, infection, or overuse. Before you try any treatment at home, do not forget to see a doctor to get the correct diagnosis. They can examine your condition and give you the right medication or prescribe eye drops. Keeping your eyes clean, reducing screen time, and getting enough sleep are also beneficial.
