Question

Is it ok to give a 16 month old childrens advil (ibuprofen)?

Answer 1

Yes: Advil (ibuprofen) is routinely used after the age of 6 months.

Answer 2

Yes: Only mmr, chickenpox, and flu vaccines have any egg in them at all, and the amount is so tiny that even in highly egg allergic children, serious reactions are extremely rare.

Answer 3

Yes: Yes - only MMR and flu shots may have been manufactured using egg embryos.However, good studies have shown that egg allergic children can safely receive MMR vaccine and the CDC says to do so. Influenza vaccineis different. This virus is also grown in eggs. The CDC states that people with a severe egg allergy shot not get flu shots.

Answer 4

Yes: Most of the children with egg allergy could tolerate the minute amount of egg in the influenza vaccine. A small percentage may have an allergic reaction (~1-3% risk) -- most allergic reaction tend to be mild . A pediatric allergist could give a test dose of a vaccine in the office and to make sure its safe to get a full vaccine. If your child is >4Y.O. There are low-egg flu shots on the market.

Answer 5

Yes: The only vaccine that may need to be avoided is influenza vaccine. However, only rare patients with a history of severe egg allergy have to avoid influenza vaccines (but can have all other routine vaccines). If you eat eggs without problems, then you may get influenza vaccination. See your doctor or allergist if you need help deciding if it is safe to receive the flu vaccine.

Answer 6

Yes: A few vaccines use eggs in the manufacturing process, but the remaining vaccines are fine for egg-allergic children. A parent should discuss with the doctor which vaccines to avoid. An allergist can test the child to see if he/she reacts to the vaccine, and then if there is no reaction, the child can get the vaccine at the allergist's office.

Answer 7

Yes: Most vaccines have no egg. Live virus vaccines and flu vaccines may contain small amount of egg. Aside from flu vaccine there is little risk of severe reaction. Flu vaccine can be administered in small additive amounts with close observation if there is a history of life threatening reaction to eggs.

Answer 8

Yes, and recommended: If you have not been vaccinated, it is strongly recommended, and all children should receive the vaccine. If you are not vaccinated, and are exposed to the infection, you can develop liver disease and/or cancer.

Answer 9

Non-toxic: This vaccine is made by creating a material in the lab that replicates components of the viral cell wall. Injection of the material allows the body to create blocking antibody without having the disease. It is not toxic to you , a fetus during pregnancy , or a newborn or older kid.

Answer 10

Not enough: Panda's requires periodic flare-ups of tics/ocd associated with recent infection and elevated antistreptocccocal antibodies - aso and antidnase - that elevated when the symptoms flare. Your doctor is the only one who can diagnose panda's.

Answer 11

Family history (FH)?: Prob not. Strept is so common. Tics common enough. Many cases of pandas have genetic vulnerability. That being a heritable protein on the cell membrane which is similar to strept. Fh of rheumatoid arthritis, rhematoid heart disease or syndenham's chorea (st. Vitas dance) increases chances of having it. Multiple and/ or severe strept will increase the risk of autoimmune activity in people with fh.

Answer 12

NO: In my humble opinion, the answer is no. Ibuprofen is well known to be a gastrointestinal irritant.

Answer 13

No: Ibuprofen will not help a stomach flu, and it may cause gastritis or stomach ulcers.

Answer 14

Possibly: Generalized dystonia can progress to affect other areas. However, cervical dystonia appears to be specific and not necessarily caused by progression from the generalized form. A pediatric neurologist might be able to help with diagnosis and possible treatments.

Answer 15

Need more info: Generalized dystonia implies that all muscles of the body are at risk. Dystonia musculorum deformans is a horrible and progressive disease. Less severe forms occur that are just intermittent. Often they are worse during growth spurts, especially at puberty. Good muscle management is necessary. Some medications help, and there are now very aggressive approaches including deep brain stimulation.
