the drug is safe for a six month old, the range of daily dose for infants is 0-30 drops per day, check the package insert and follow directions. Read also to familiarize yourself with side-effects - GI complaints, dehydration, etc.

Question 2

Dosage of bromfed (brompheniramine) for 14 lb infant? ped prescribed my 10 month old bromfed (brompheniramine) for her cough:  dose is 1/2 tspn/4hrs. def not the right dose for her.

Accepted Answer

There are many studies showing that over-the-counter cough medicines do not work for children, and in fact, many can cause side effects in some kids. In my opinion, these medicines do not work and do more harm. I hope you child feels better soon.

Question 3

Doctors, what are the side effects and reactions of overdose of fenistil drops for infants?

Question 4

My 10 month old baby has very thick toenails, like you'd see with arterial disease. he's had this since birth; what could cause this in an infant?

Accepted Answer

Your 10 mos old has "very thick toenails since birth". Congenital anomalies of the nails, hair, skin, teeth can be caused by a group of genetic defects called Ectodermal Dysplasias, of which there are numerous types. Involved body parts can be poorly developed or absent. Nails can be thick, misshapen or rough but usually cause no problems. See your doctor for diagnosis, genetic history, & therapy.

Question 5

How can you tell if your 10 month old infant has an ear infection?

Accepted Answer

The only way to be sure a child has an ear infection is to look at the eardrum.  See a doc and have this done, if your child is sick, please.

Question 6

My 10 month old has a fever of 102.2 should i take him to the er i have given infant ibuprofen  its not helpin?

Accepted Answer

Fever @ a 102 level is common in infants & toddlers with a wide variety of minor and some significant illnesses. I find tylenol (acetaminophen) can give comfort & take a degree off a temp, but any resolution will be the illness going thru its cycles.If baby is playing some & taking fluids well enough to wet every 6hrs, u may be able to ride this out at home. If quiet, taking poorly etc. Call in & or see the dr.

Question 7

Is the rsv virus dangerous in a  10 month old infant?  she has been on antibiotics for 6 days.  today she has a fever of 102 and a clear chest xray.

Accepted Answer

Appropiate hydration and support is essential.Any time a child is ill and a fever spikes, a concern arises for a secondary infection ie-ear infection.Antibiotics do not treat RSV so the fact that the child is taking one does not change the outcome.If your infant is more lethargic, drinking or urinating less, working harder to breath , or fever persists call your md right away.

Question 8

Can i use anti histamine fenistil gel (dimethindene maleate) for a bite while i'm in very early pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Most antihistamines are considered safe for pregnancy (Category B) nowadays although I am not familiar with the product you are using. I do not expect any measurable absorption from the topical application of an antihistamine on the skin and thus it would be extremely unlikely that even if a trace of it gets to the fetus. A hydrocortisone cream would work better on an itchy insect bite.

Question 9

I m 29 yrs n have 10 months baby boy. my 3rd dose of cervical cancer vaccine was due in sept. will it be effective now or should i start again ?

Accepted Answer

effective. It needs to be at least 6 months after the first, but definitely can be later. The manufacturer has stated that, although there is a recommended schedule that we try to adhere to, if it is delayed, it is still effective and the series does not need to be restarted. Enjoy your baby!

Question 10

My 11 month baby had cold before 2 days n still hav runy nose the doctor gave her 9 drops of fenistil  twice daily for 5 days is it safe to give her?

Accepted Answer

In the US we believe the use of such antihistamine products in infants is often unnecessary and potentially harmful. While possibly safe, one effect is thickening secretions/drainage.This can lead to narrowing of their nasal airway and more work of breathing. I haven't used such products in that age for decades. It does give you something to do, which is the only value some see in it.
