Question 1

culture + for staph around buttocks-how quick for rash to heal? been on bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) 3 days? how contagious is it? have 2 children. worried.

Accepted Answer

Staph: To keep spread of the infection to a minimum take warm soapy baths to which you have added 3-4 tablespoons of bleach to the bath water. Apply antibiotic ointment like bactroban (mupirocin) to your rash after the bath. Hand washing with soap and water is also in order.

Question 2

can children use clobex?

Accepted Answer

Clobex/children: It is safe to use in kids 12 and older.  Under age 12, it is a pretty hefty steroid to use for a kid.  It is a steroid, and a fairly potent one at that.  Kids can absorb it through their skin and it can then affect them as if they ingested it.  I would use a lower potency steroid on a kid under 12, although there are occasions when a stronger one is needed - close monitoring is then needed as well

Question 3

can children use anecream?

Accepted Answer

Anecream: Anecream can be used in children.

Question 4

can children use periogel?

Accepted Answer

2 and over - yes: This product is used to help heal a mouth or gum injury. The key to safety is the ability of the child to spit it out after use.

Question 5

can children use phoslyra?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Phoslyra is used to help reduce phosphate levels in end stage renal disease. If your child has renal disease and is working with a specialist this may be considered in the treatment plan. I would review your concerns with the MD who recommended the medication.

Question 6

can children take flo-pred?

Accepted Answer

Steroids: Flo-pred is a brand of prednisolone a steroid often used in children with asthma, colitis , and other disorders where an anti-inflammatory medication is used.

Question 7

can children use triesence?

Accepted Answer

Specialist decision: Triesence is an injectable steroid into your eye to treat inflammation when steroid eye drops are not helpful. Use on a child would need to be monitored closely and be administered by an eye specialist with experience using this medication. It is not something I typically see in my practice so I suspect your child has a unique health challenge. Good luck!

Question 8

can children use nexterone?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but: only in certain situations. It is a cardiac drug used in life threatening cardiac arrhythmias. It is typically given via IV in critically ill patients.

Question 9

can children use medihaler-epi?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: I have reviewed this product information as I have not heard of it. It's inhaled epinephrine which is not currently on the Pediatric asthma protocols. I would not advise it's use at this time.

Question 10

i don't want more children what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Easy: The only full proof way to avoid having children is 100% abstinence. But nobody likes this choice, so the next best option would be a tubal ligation but even that is not 100% foolproof.  I recommend you discuss your options with your obstetrician gynecologist.
