At 12 years old, 60 kg, the typical dose: is 25 mg/kg daily. So, approximately 1500 mg per day for your son, divided into 12-hour intervals. However, consult your doctor for the precise dosage based on his condition. Ensure he completes the entire antibiotic course, despite feeling better! Inform your doctor if side effects occur, such as rash, diarrhea, or vomiting.

Hello My 11 year old son started showing covid symptoms on Tuesday August 1st. I tested him Friday August 4th and it was positive. I tested him again this morning and it's still positive. I was wondering if he still needs to quarantine. School is Monday and I dont know if he should go or not.
Male | 11
It's worrying your son caught COVID-19. He needs to stay quarantined, even with a positive test. COVID-19 spreads easily, and symptoms are gone or not. Common signs are coughing, fever, and tiredness. Protecting others means avoiding the spread. So stay home until not contagious.

My baby is always tilting her head to the right
Female | 3 months old
Your baby could have torticollis. Their head tilts to one side. It may happen because of tight muscles or how they were in the womb. Signs are a tilted head and trouble turning it. A pediatrician may show you special exercises to help. But in very bad cases, they might need a helmet or neck brace.

Female | 12
As girls approach adolescence, bodily changes happen - it's normal. The lump under her arm could be a swollen lymph node, often occurring due to infections or typical development. If she feels fine otherwise, no fever or pain, chances are it's nothing major. However, keep monitoring it closely. Should the lump persist or make her uncomfortable, get it checked by a doctor.

My son has had three nosebleeds today, two last week (both in the same day). I don't believe he's had a head injury on either occasion. He gets them every now and again but not this regular. He is not a nose picker.
Male | 8
Your son's nosebleeds seem concerning. Nosebleeds occur for many reasons. Dryness inside the nose may crack, and bleed. Allergies or temperature changes too. Ensure he drinks plenty of water for moist nasal passages. If bleeding persists, consult a pediatrician. Don't hesitate to get it checked. Frequent nosebleeds warrant medical attention. Minor ones may resolve independently. But observing is crucial, especially if heavy.

How can i relieve my baby from colic pain and gas. I give him colimex drops but are of no use.
Male | 2.5 months
Babies can get colic and gas. Colic is when babies cry intensely. Gas makes babies uncomfortable. It happens when they swallow air while feeding. Or, they have a sensitive tummy. Try massaging their stomach gently. Burp them frequently during feedings too. Keep their surroundings quiet and calm. Don't overfeed them quickly. Keep them upright after feedings. Warm baths and gentle rocking might help soothe them too. With these tips, your baby should feel better soon.

Hello please doctor my baby is sick blood is coming from her nose
Female | 0
Dried-out or irritated blood vessels in noses cause bleeds. Reasons include nose-picking, dry air, or hard sneezes. To stop it, make the baby sit up straight. Use your fingers to gently squeeze the soft part of their nose around ten minutes. Put a cool, damp cloth on their forehead too. If nosebleeds occur a lot, check with a pediatrician. There could be an underlying issue making them happen frequently.
