Question 1

baby weighing 10.5kg does it matter if i gave him 1 suppository of adol 125mg ?? his teething so i want something to help him sleep

Accepted Answer

No: Not necessary. Teething can make infants uncomfortable and fussy. However it is a normal episode in their development. They will adjust to it. The only medication to give would be children's Tylenol (acetaminophen) liquid at correct dosage. Ask your pediatrian.  Don't over medicate. Calm down.

Question 2

my son has tonsillitis-, he is on orelox for 2 days now. he still has a fever of 39 degrees. he is 6 months old and weigh 7.4kg. can i give him panamor suppository  to help break the the fever?

Accepted Answer

Infant drops: The suppository is better for two years of age and older. Infant Tylenol is advised, but the infection should be controlled by the antibiotic. Please see your physician soon. Keep him well hydrated.

Question 3

how much do babies usually weigh when they are born?

Accepted Answer

Depends: this depends on the gestational age of the baby at the time of birth (how many weeks was the pregnancy).
Babies who are born full term can vary in weight. The growth chart available from the cdc can be found here: http://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/data/set1clinical/cj41l017.pdf

Question 4

do exclusively nursed babies weigh less than formula fed babies?

Accepted Answer

No and Yes: They weigh more early in the first six months of life, then typically less by a year of life.  More importantly, they then weigh less for the rest of their life. Breastfed babies have lower obesity rates for life, that is.

Question 5

where can recommended  vomitting suppository dosage info for infants can be found?such supositry can be very useful in case infant cant keep anything

Accepted Answer

???reason/med??: In the US the use of most suppository medications, specifically phenergan (promethazine) has declined in popularity.Newer meds are more convenient and have less risks. Phenergan (promethazine) was found to occasionally trigger apnea-loss of breathing in infants under 2.

Question 6

is it safe to give an infant of 1 month a suppository? how often and what's best for infant constipation?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: Many children become constipated but it is by no means normal - many parents use an occasional glycerin suppository without issue but you really should discuss this with your doctor and have the child checked as this is not normal and possibly a change in diet or a medication may be more helpful especially if this is chronic

Question 7

i was want to know if my fetus weighed 4lbs 3oz at 33 weeks 3 days, what should he weigh at 36 weeks 3 days?

Accepted Answer

Just an estimate: Keep in mind that the estimated fetal weight (efw) on a third trimester ultrasound is just an estimate with a margin of error.  Also, fetal weight gain is variable depending on many factors.  In general, it is estimated that a fetus is gaining about 1/2 a pound per week at this stage of pregnancy.  That would put your fetus at about 5 lbs 11 oz at 36 wks 3 days based on your previous efw.

Question 8

doctor, please how much of tylenol overdose in mg or ml within 24hrs is considered overdose in infant weigh 8kg that can cause liver failure? thank u.

Accepted Answer

Amount vs weight: A single dose of 150 mg/kg or here 150X8=1200 mg will produce liver damage. A blood acetomenophen level of over 150 mcg/ml at 4 hrs from ingestion or 5 @ 24 hrs suggests probable damage. The same dose spread out evenly over 24 hrs may not be toxic. Blood tests are done to determine level of toxicity at any point that overdose is suspected.

Question 9

how long does a babies gliceran suppository take in affect the baby is 5 weeks old and constipated

Accepted Answer

A : A glycerine suppository only takes a few minutes to melt, but it may take a few more hours for the child to pass a stool.

Constipation is the passage of a dry, hard stool - not necessarily the absence of daily stool. If you suspect your child may be crying because he is ill, call your child's doctor. That being said, constipation is common in infants and there are a couple things you can do to help.

1.) give pear or prune juice - 1oz/age in months/day so in your case 1 oz. Not only does prune or pear juice have sugar which can help soften bms, but also has fiber (notice the gritty texture when you drink it?). This does not mean that you should be feeding your baby juice as a part of his regular diet, but it's ok in daily small amounts to treat constipation.

2.) if juice does not work, then you can try a glycerine suppository which you can buy over the counter. Just cut a pea-sized piece of the glycerine and place it in the baby's anus to lubricate the hard stool. This is not meant for daily use, so if you find that your baby needs a suppository in order to have a bm despite dietary changes, discuss with your child's doctor.

3.) do not use mineral oil, laxatives or enemas. These methods are not safe for infants.

4.) finally, if constipation is persistent and not improved with any of the above recommendations, be sure to contact your baby's doctor. There are some very rare underlying disorders such as hirschprung's disease, cystic fibrosis or hypothyroidism that can cause chronic constipation.

Question 10

does formula (similac advance) make  babies fat or chubby? do all babies go through that chubby phase? at my son 1month check up he weigh 10pounds

Accepted Answer

No: It is not the formula but maybe the amount he is being fed. Review his intake with your doctor. Most babies double their birth weight between 2-3 months. All the best.
