Is 15 mL Zarbee's cough syrup safe for 3.5YO?

Is 15 mL of zarbees cough syrup too much for 3.5 yo

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 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.

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 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.

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.

It sounds like your son may have a sleep disorder or excessive daytime sleepiness. I recommend visiting a pediatric neurologist or a sleep specialist. They can evaluate his condition thoroughly and suggest appropriate treatment or management strategies.

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.

Male | 3

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. Besides, don't always be concerned about i.

Female | 10

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.
