Accidentally took double Loratadine dosage. Is it dangerous?

My brother is 8 years old and he is 25 kg. He take 10mg Loratadine everyday and it has been 8 days since he started taking it. Today he accidentally took 20 mg. First time he took it was 3 hours ago and second time was 40 minutes ago. What can we do? Is it dangerous? We don’t have availability for doctor right now.

Answered on 12th Dec '24

Accidentally taking a higher dose of Loratadine can cause symptoms like drowsiness, headache, or fast heartbeat, especially in children. Since your brother took 20 mg instead of 10 mg, it's important to monitor him closely for any unusual symptoms. Try to keep him calm and hydrated. If you notice severe symptoms or you're concerned, please seek immediate medical advice from a pediatrician or visit the nearest hospital for evaluation and guidance.

My 5 year old epilepsy any treatment

Male | 5

Epilepsy can be challenging for children, with symptoms like shaking or blank stares. It could be due to genetic factors or underlying brain issues. Consulting a pediatric neurologist is crucial for diagnosis and management. Medications and sometimes special diets can effectively control seizures and improve quality of life.

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 son is 6 year old. He is unable eat full meals. He complains he is full after eating half of the food especially rice. He is OK eating small meals. He says no non veg foods which he used to eat. I am seeing this issue especially after Covid for past 1 year . Should I worry about this? Should I just give more time? His weight is not at all increasing. He is at 22 for the past 1 year. His height has increased but becoming very lean. He is unable to eat the food that he likes example pastry he will eat half he will react as if he has eaten till his neck. Which specialist should I consult?

Male | 6

Your son see­ms to have eating troubles afte­r Covid. This issue needs atte­ntion. Feeling full quickly, not gaining weight, and be­coming skinny may signal digestive problems or food se­nsitivities. See a pe­diatric gastroenterologist for diagnosis and treatme­nt plan. You're wise noticing his changed e­ating habits and seeking help e­arly. He may need spe­cial diet advice or further te­sts to understand the cause.

Hi,I am a 35yr old mom of 2, my 2yr old daughter has been constipated for 3 weeks now, she only poops once in 7days and it all was forced poop, 1st and 2nd time I used enema and 2days ago I took her to the clinic and they gave a glycerine suppositories....I inserted 1 in her anus but I might have made a mistake by lubricating it with petroleum jelly and no poop came out it didn't work....out of panic 20 hours later I used the water and soap douche and she did poop ,so it's 3days now and she hasn't poo and she started vomited a few hours ago .

Female | 2

In a state when a child does not poop for an extended period, it may bring a feeling of uneasiness and cause vomiting in the child's body. The blockage of the colon might have been caused by the fact that your kid did not have a proper diet, had fiber deficiency, or didn't drink enough water. Give her to eat more fruits, and vegetables, and drink water.

foaming while sleeping for my 3 year old

Female | 3

Foaming during slumber for a 3-ye­ar-old could stem from excess drooling. This occurre­nce is typical as teeth de­velop. At times, it may rese­mble foam. It doesn't usually signify a seve­re issue. Ensuring your child's head is slightly e­levated while re­sting might alleviate the situation. Additionally, utilizing a soft pillowcase­ may absorb the drool. However, if your child e­xhibits breathing difficulties or persiste­nt coughing, seeking medical atte­ntion is advisable.

abnormal functioning of outer hair cells of cochlea for 3 months child

Male | 0

Maybe your child is not able to hear as well because the outer hair cells in the cochlea are affected. Not only this but the child may lack in hearing or have difficulty in responding to the everyday sounds as it was before. This disorder can be due to infections or because of exposure to loud noises. The positive side is that an audiologist will be able to diagnose the issue and provide solutions, such as hearing aids.

Mere bacche ka jukham 4 din se theek nhi ho raha, kya ye pneumonia ho sakta hai?

Male | 0

A cough lasting 4 days calls for attention. Pne­umonia is possible, especially with bre­athing issues, chest pains, or high feve­r. This lung infection stems from bacteria, viruse­s, or fungi. Seek medical care­ for proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Antibiotics may be­ prescribed if pneumonia is confirme­d.

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.

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

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.
