It is common for children to get recurrent infections that will come out of them as they grow older. In case you need any medication you have to see a doctor

You can try it but better to give solid/semisolid food, avoid too much liquid diet like Milk, juice, soup etc. You have to give multiple meals in small amounts. Try to give small but energy & protein dense food.

My daughter is 3 years 10 month old. We have to travel by car for a 12 hr journey, she suffers motion sickness in cars and did have episodes of vomiting in the past. I have used ondem and domstal in the past, but it seems they r not that effective, I have read antihistamine works in these situation, which antihistamine can be used for a 4 years old girl approx, which is gentle and effective enough to make the journey smoother for kid, I am really looking for answers here. Weight is approx 17 kg.

Health Query

Hello doc, my 3 year old daughter was prescribed cefixime 200 mg to be taken every 24h but I gave her the second dose 12h too early after her first dose. What do I do? Should I give the next dose after 24 hrs as prescribed or after 36 hrs since I gave the second dose 12 hrs too early and then continue spacing by 24 hrs after the third dose?

Just continue 3rd dose of 200 mg after 24 hours , don't extend/ spaced out beyond 24 hours even you have given at 12 hours. Maximum spacing between two doses is 24 hours

Better to avoid Dextrometharphan in small kids, it's opid (Opium derivatives), until unless you are exhausted with all other cough remedies

it's fine. No problem

The weight of the baby is important in deciding the dosage and not the age. However, you can give 2.5 ml thrice daily, safe;y.

There is no such cream and his motor skills might have been compromised & as all other activities are fine he will walk and you have to give physiotherapy.
