can i take imodium (loperamide) with ercefuryl at the same time?

Question

Can you take pepto and imodium (loperamide)?

Answer 1

Why?: Both are antidiarrheal medication. Why would you want to take both? It sounds like over kill. I would suggest try taking one medication as prescribed- wait four hours, if no improvement, then try the other medication.

Answer 2

No: Some children reach the milestones earlier while others may reach them later. Try not to compare your child to others. Your pediatrician will do a developmental screening at each well child visit and will address your concerns. If your baby is significantly delayed, further evaluation may be needed.

Answer 3

No: No, not all children attain developmental milestones at the same time. Don't worry if your child takes an extra month or two to babble his first words, or take her first steps. All babies are different and attain their milestones at their own speed. You should worry if several months go by without attaining a specific milestone, or if your child appears delayed in attaining multiple milestones.

Answer 4

Good question: Developmental screens/ assessments are based on biological development, the age ranges during which typically developing children reach certain milestones. Clearly, there are cultural, environmental and socioeconomic factors ( such as poverty, amount if child-directed language a parent gives, parenting style and expectations) that impact a child's development.

Answer 5

No: No, this is a common misconception! if all children had the same percentile for height and weight, there would be no tall skinny, broad muscular, or short heavy kids! growth percentiles are mostly used to predict and track growth over time.

Answer 6

No: Not necessarily. Every body type is different. What is more important is how fast each measurement rises on the growth curves. Ask your pediatrician to show you this on your childs growth curves to assess.

Answer 7

Percentiles: Usually yes. Occasionally one will be slightly higher then the other.

Answer 8

Not necessarily...: Disproportion is not uncommon as children grow. The more important factor is whether their individual growth parameters, height, weight and head circumference, are tracking along a given developmental percentage/quartile. Your dr is tracking this info. If you have concerns about growth of your child, please raise it with them. I'm sure they will be happy to discuss these issues with you. Cheers.

Answer 9

Tummy time!: Many babies develop flattening of the back of the head in the first 4-6 months from sleeping on their backs. Tummy time can help to avoid this. Also, make sure you put your baby in different seats, different positions and encourage him/her to look to both sides in the first few months. Most flattening resolves on its own when babies start to sit up (after 6 months).

Answer 10

Tummy time and chang: The head 'molds' or changes shape due to pressure from layind down and the head flattening on tje surface. Tummy time relieves that pressure. Also frequent position changes and movement while laying down will help.

Answer 11

Yes: It is well known that ginger has anti-nausea properties --- ginger crackers, ginger chews, and even raw ginger can soothe a nauseated tummy. Ginger ale does have ginger in it, also, but it is wise to drink it slowly and at room temperature.

Answer 12

For most people, yes: If using ginger ale for nausea, regular (not diet) better tolerated, at/near room temperature, and allowed to go part-way "flat.".

Answer 13

Not same as gout: Both gout and pseudo-gout will cause sudden, painful swelling in joints, and both are caused by deposits of crystals in the joints. However, gout is caused by uric acid crystals, and is often associated with lifestyle and dietary factors, and metabolic diseases. Pseudogout is caused by calcium pyrophosphate crystals, and is related to advancing age, history of trauma, other medical conditions.

Answer 14

No: Gout is an arthritis in which painful flares are caused by monosodium urate crystals. "pseudogout" means "false gout." attacks of pseudogout may look like gout but are caused by calcium pyrophosphate crystals.
