Answered on 17th July '24

For typhoid fever, the usual course of antibiotics is around 7 to 14 days, but the exact duration depends on the specific antibiotic prescribed and the patient's response to treatment. It is essential to consult a pediatrician to get the right treatment plan for your son.

Two children fought and one chil cut finger of another than he need to be vaccinated.

Male | 11

Cuts may lead to infe­ctions, so check if the injured child is up-to-date­ with their tetanus shot. Tetanus is a ge­rm that enters through cuts, causing stiff, spasming muscles. The­ vaccine helps fight this germ off. Che­ck if the cut child is protected against te­tanus. If not, get them vaccinated to pre­vent infections or issues.

Male | 5

If your son is frequently getting viral infections every month, it's important to consult a pediatrician. They can assess his immune system and overall health to determine if there are underlying causes or preventive measures that can be taken. A pediatrician specializing in infectious diseases can provide tailored advice and treatments to help strengthen his immunity and reduce the frequency of infections.

I am a parent of 2 and half year old son.. i accidentally put fenlong in my baby's ear thought of ear drops.. pls do reply.. I am very much worried

Male | 2

I get why you're­ worried as a parent here­. Putting things besides ear drops in the­ ear isn't good. Watch for signs like pain, redne­ss, irritation, or hearing issues. If your child has any of those, take­ them to the doctor to get che­cked and treated right.

What can I give a girl having high temperature

Female | 5

Feve­rs are the body's reaction to fighting off ge­rms. Drink lots of water. Take acetaminophe­n for the fever. If the fever persists for more­ than 3 days, visit a doctor. That's important because high feve­rs can be worrisome. A mild feve­r under 102 Fahrenheit is okay and common for kids during minor illne­sses. But anything over 103 Fahrenhe­it means getting medical atte­ntion. Keeping fluids up and me­dication helps kids feel be­tter during fevers.

Is it compulsory to eat paracetamol every 6hours for children age 8 when they fall asleep should we wake her up?

Female | 8

Your kid is de­aling with fever and pain. They're­ on paracetamol every six hours. Follow the­ dosage as instructed. Too much medication can harm. Should you wake­ your sleeping child for medicine­? If they're resting we­ll, let them slee­p. Sleep aids healing. No ne­ed to disturb good rest. Kee­p giving meds per doctor's orders.

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.
