Is 15 mL of zarbees cough syrup too much for 3.5 yo
General Physician
Answered on 29th Jan '25
For a child aged 3.5 years, it's important to follow the dosage recommendations on the packaging. Typically, 15 mL of Zarbee’s is on the higher side for young kids, depending on their weight and specific symptoms. This syrup is designed to help soothe throat discomfort caused by coughs, often stemming from colds or allergies. If your little one experiences increased coughing or other unusual symptoms, consider consulting a pediatrician. They can provide personalized advice and ensure safe and effective care tailored to your child's needs.

My son had a bath about 3 hours ago and he’s been coughing and was gagging, almost choking. I want to know what i should do
Male | 1
Your little one's coughing fit after bath time may signal some water got into his airways. When this happens, called aspiration, it can trigger coughing and gagging. Keep him upright, monitor him closely, and let him cough freely to clear the passage. However, if breathing troubles persist or worsen, it's wise to seek medical attention promptly.

Hello , My baby is 2 and a half month now. Our pediatrician recommended me to give formula milk for 2 days saying that due to breastfeeding my baby is getting gas. Should I give him formula. From another BEMS doctor always suggest me only breast milk should be given to baby.
Male | 2.5 months
Gas is a common occurrence in babies and can make them quite irritable. When eating, they may swallow air or break down certain nutrients found in breast milk, causing it. To release trapped air more frequently during feeding, try burping your baby often. Additionally, tender tummy massages could also provide relief from gas. If you can, stick with breastfeeding since it’s the best for your baby’s well-being; however, you might want to consider speaking to a pediatrician for further advice.

How much ml of water and formula milk should be given in the hole day to 11months baby
Male | 11 months
Your 11-month-old requires around 750-900 ml of water and formula daily. If they don't consume enough, signs could appear as fussiness, lack of weight gain, and fewer wet diapers. This helps maintain proper hydration and satisfaction levels. If you have concerns, consult your pediatrician promptly for guidance.

Hello I have a question my daughter is 5 and doesn't talk much she will grunt cry n throw tantrums when I ask her what's wrong and try to help her she won't communicate with me at all
Female | 5
Your child may be expressing themselves through non-verbal behavior, which could indicate a communication disorder. Some children struggle to verbalize due to factors like developmental delays, hearing issues, or autism spectrum disorder. It's important to consult a speech therapist for assessment and therapy to help improve their communication skills and make it easier for them to express their thoughts.

So I have a 4 month old baby so he has bleeding the brain would it be possible that when my 3 daughters where jumping on my bed and my 4 month old baby got his head stuck between the wall and bed when they started bouncing that the bed and the wall would make his brain start bleeding ??
Male | 4 months
It is unlikely that the bed and wall incident alone caused your baby's brain to bleed, but it is important to seek medical advice immediately. Brain bleeding in infants can have serious causes. Please consult a pediatric neurologist to understand the situation and get proper care for your baby.

Male | 4 months
Your baby is experiencing diarrhea. His urine appears reddish, and thick. This might be caused by infection or something he consumed, upsetting his tummy. Ensure he drinks enough breast milk or formula to stay hydrated. If symptoms worsen or continue, consult a pediatrician - it may indicate a serious condition needing medical attention.

My daughter is 12.5 years old and 165 cm tall. She already has got her period last year when she was 11. Father is 5 feet 8 inch and mother s height is 5 feet 2 inches. I'm worried if she has stopped growing. Can she get few more inches. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much.
Female | 12
Girls her age, 12.5, often keep on growing for some more years. Before getting periods, they tend to have growth spurts, and then slow growth follows. Since your girl had her period at 11, there might be more growing left. Things like her genes, eating well, and being healthy affect growth. Keep encouraging healthy foods, enough sleep, and exercise for her. If worried, chatting with her doctor could help.

My baby is 2.5 month old he is facing poti last 3 days
Male | 2.5 months
Your baby has been having frequent bowel movements over the last 3 days. Infants can go through changes in their stooling patterns from time to time. This may be caused by something they ingested or a minor stomach upset. Ensure that the little one is well-hydrated by giving more breast milk or formula. Should this matter persist or if the infant appears sickly, it would be prudent to seek medical advice from a pediatrician.

Male | 8
Consuming two albendazole tablets (each containing 400 mg) accidentally could lead to discomfort for a child. Potential effects may include stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, or headache. There's no need for alarm, as these are common side effects. Ensure the child drinks ample water. However, if severe symptoms arise, such as dizziness or breathing difficulties, seek medical attention immediately.

My toddler has severe food allergies. How can I ensure he gets a balanced diet while avoiding allergens, and what are some safe, nutritious alternatives?
Female | 33
A diet that is complete and free from allergens is essential. Milk, eggs, soy, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish are the most commonly found allergens. It is important to search for other alternatives that are safe and nutritious, such as fruit, vegetables, rice, quinoa, beans, and meats. A dietitian can support you in developing a customized meal plan to make sure your child gets all the necessary nutrients. It is also necessary to monitor the symptoms of rashes, stomachache, vomiting, and shortness of breath that might appear after consuming food. If you recognize any of these symptoms, the advice is to stop feeding them that food and to contact an allergist for further testing and evaluation.

My 7 years daughter has fever since 3 days now it is not and she has inside fever and she has rashes on her body 4/ 5 place and she has sore throat. She is coughing and she has little bit Headache also. Her urine is slightly yellow.
Female | 7
Your daughter's fever, rash, throat pain, cough, and headache suggest a viral illness, possibly influenza. Dehydration causes yellow urine. Ensure she consumes ample fluids and rests well. Administer fever-reducing medicines if necessary. However, seek medical evaluation if symptoms worsen or don't improve, as viruses can sometimes lead to complications.

I gave cremazen plus to 3years baby as 5ml unexpected as the gelusil mps was same.any problem for this
Male | 3
Giving Cremazen Plus, meant for adults, to a three-year-old child instead of Gelusil MPS could lead to issues. Side effects like feeling sleepy, puzzled, and an upset tummy are possible. The mix-up arose because these medicines treat varying stomach problems. To correct this, ensure the proper medication is given next time.

My son is 1 he has been having diarrhoea but like small pieces off poo and wet but a lot redness around the bum it really hurts him
Male | 1
The loose poop you talked about is called diarrhea. Tummy bugs or foods he can't digest well could be the cause. The red area around his bottom is likely from frequent pooping which can irritate the skin. Make sure he drinks lots of water and other fluids to stay hydrated. You can also put a barrier cream on the red area to protect his skin. If the diarrhea keeps happening, it's best to take him to a pediatrician for a check-up.

Occasionally, one testicle might be located higher than the other and there is nothing to worry about since that is natural. The penis is normally the same size at a very young age, as far as measurements go. Be on the lookout for any changes but they are usually rectified without intervention as your child grows.

My kid is 3 year old and having a problem that he has a low IQ around 75-80 and learns things slowly and also he has a that he rubs his penis which led to swelling
Male | 3
It's hard to witness your baby encounter difficulties. When children have low-IQ, they can be slow to grasp new knowledge. Failing to reach a low IQ could arise from several reasons. The riddle here is regarding the penis rubbing which could be resulting either from boredom or irritation. To assist your kid, work on love, patience, and fun activities. If the swelling continues, the pediatrician will guide you.

Your sister might experience anxiety. Anxiety causes shortness of breath, trembling, and disrupted sleep. It also affects appetite, leaving one feeling weak. When the body is stressed, it impacts our well-being and eating habits. A crucial step is helping her relax. Simple activities like deep breathing, calming music, or enjoyable hobbies can soothe her mind. Ensure the eats well, even if it's small, frequent meals. Encourage healthy snacks like fruits, veggies, and nuts. If her condition doesn't improve, it's advisable to consult the doctor again.

Babies sometimes vomit too much food. Perhaps your little one ate quickly or had a slight illness. Keep giving small sips to prevent dehydration. However, constant vomiting needs medical attention. Reach out to a pediatrician if vomiting persists to get advice and proper care.
