Question 1

what kinds of cream can be prescribed for children wit severe eczema?

Accepted Answer

ECZEMA: Eczema becomes severe if no moisturizer is applied on the skin plus steroid cream. Mild Hydrocortisone 2percent cream is good for  the very young kids and stronger steroids for the older  children.

Question 2

my 2 year old has a minor cold. can i give her 2.5ml of children's mucinex cold, and still give her prescribed 5ml of children's zyrtec? she is 33 lbs

Accepted Answer

Better not: Children's Mucinex cold has more than one formulation, and some contain an antihistamine as zyrtec, you don't want to combine both, besides some ingredients in these formulations may have side effects on your toddler. As for the zyrtec, 2.5 ml (2.5mg) would be enough, saline nasal washes, acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol) would be helpful, together with rest and fluids, if any problem, call/ see her MD

Question 3

i have stage 2 level hbp. why would i be prescribed clonidine er, 0.1 mg twice daily when this is also given to children? is it enough for me?

Accepted Answer

Different issue: Administration to kids is a relatively later process. It was and is part of the treatment of hbp. It was found to have a calming effect on some kids treated for hbp who also had hyperactivity and other problems. As sometimes occurs with medicine, a side effect became another reason for use. .It is now given to kids with normal BP for several reasons.

Question 4

dr prescribed my 4 yr old son claritin (loratadine) for allergies. can i give him 1/2 of the 10mg reditab instead of buying the childrens 5mg tabs?

Accepted Answer

Claritin (loratadine): Yes, you can give him half of a ten mg. Tablet.

Question 5

my doctor prescribed allergex for my 9 month old daughter. the bottle says not to give to children under the age of 2. should i still give it to her?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If the kid broke out in hives I might use an antihistamine like this. I  don't find it helpful for colds or drainage &amp; find it can thicken secretions &amp; make them worse. This is an okay med when used for the right reasons. Since you didn't post why it was suggested it is hard to comment.

Question 6

my child is 12 hrs old and has been prescribed  amox/k generic  for augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate)  is it ok if i give a dose of children's nyquil to ease the systems of h?

Accepted Answer

Yes: but better to use saline nose spray and a vaporizor.so he can breath easy

Question 7

my pediatrician prescribed benadryl to my 4 year old for allergies. the bottle says do not use for children under 6?

Accepted Answer

: This drug has been used for allergies from infants to adults for decades. When dosed properly it is safe. Any wording suggesting it is not is applied at the recommendation of the producers lawyers, not the docs.

Question 8

can the procedure of separating labia few times per day in children having partial labial adhesion(as prescribed by doctors) affect urethra or hymen?

Accepted Answer

Labial adhesions: For my patients with labial adhesions, I usually recommend using a q-tip with some k-y jelly on it to gently separate the adhesions.

If done gently and just on the adhesions, there is no reason it should affect the urethra or hymen

Question 9

my doctor prescribed a utrogestan for me,i'm 6 weeks pregnant and have a history of miscarriages.i have 2 children(13  and 8).2016 i miscarried at 9 weeks and this year as well.what how will utrogestan help me?

Accepted Answer

Utrogestan: utrogestan is a form of Progesterone available in some countries. Some doctors will add a Progesterone supplement in early pregnancy as an aid to prevent miscarriage. It is mainly used in those undergoing in vitro fertilization but sometimes it is used in other circumstances. You can discuss with your doctor the use in your specific case

Question 10

do u think is it safe im afraid?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Those medicine are safe in the correct doses. Usually Progesterone is only used in the first 10 weeks of pregnancy and then stopped. Aspirin is also safe in pregnancy. You should have no reason to be worried.
