can i know the dosage for terbutaline sulphate 1.5mg syrup for children ?

Accepted Answer

Rarely used in US: The recommended dose is .05mg/kg every 8 hours to start and yo to .15 mg/kg every 8 hours. This is rarely used in the us where standard asthma therapy includes inhaled steroids as maintenance with beta agonist inhalers for acute events. Some physicians would use this as a cough med for kids with mild infectious bronchospasm.

Question 2

helo docs, can you please tell me if theres any home remedies for children who r suffering from severe cough  for years specially at night during bed time... and also neithers cought expect syrup npr anti biotic is wrking. .. has tried so many docs presc

Accepted Answer

Clean air: Night cough is often related to non specific irritants in the sleeping environment. These include dust, fumes, smoke, fragrance of cleaning agents or dryer sheets and the like. If you can smell it it can irritate the airway  & make kids cough. Dust mites also get into the weave of the pillow or mattress & build up over time. Kids that are sensitive get a super exposure every time they go to bed.

Question 3

please .. could you mention the safest anti-cough syrups for children in case of dry & productive cough..

Accepted Answer

None: All the cough medications are a money making business without real improvement. Just voodoo. 

I recommend herbal tea and chicken noodle soup. 

Check with your doc if it is prolonged to evaluate for underlying diseases such as asthma or pneumonia if it does not go away by itself.

Still rather young: In the US, the recommendation is not to use cold medications such as decongestants, antihistamines, and cough suppressants in babies or young children who have typical cold or flu symptoms. We do use asthma medications when there are asthma symptoms, which can include wheezing, coughing, etc... Doctor can evaluate. Sometimes Tamiflu is used for influenza.

Question 7

what is efective for children vomits?

Accepted Answer

Supportive care: Usually the key is to keep them hydrated by giving small, frequent volumes. They should be getting a little sugar and a little salt- for smaller kids, pedialyte is formulated properly; for older schoolkids and adolescents, who have more reserve, almost any clear liquids will do. Prolonged (>2 days) vomiting, high fevers, inability to take fluids, or vomiting in infants should be evaluated promptly.

Question 8

which foods are good for children?

Accepted Answer

Many many many!: If it grew in the ground, it's probably pretty healthy, including lots of vegetables, fruits, nuts, herbs, mushrooms....And the list goes on.     Meats of all kids are good, but white ones (poultry and fish) tend to be the healthiest. Dairy products are great provided your body tolerates them. With all, try to stay as organic and fresh as you possibly can.
