My baby boy is 22 days old, born by C-section at 38+6 weeks, weighing 2.8 kg at birth. He is feeding well, has 10+ wet diapers daily and is otherwise healthy.
Our pediatrician prescribed B-N-C Neo Drops, 0.5 mL twice daily. The product contains DHA, multiple vitamins/minerals and 400 IU vitamin D per 1 mL.
I would like a second opinion from pediatricians: Is this multivitamin/multimineral supplement routinely necessary for a healthy, term newborn who is feeding and growing well? Would vitamin D supplementation alone generally be sufficient? Is there any concern with giving B-N-C Neo at this dose?
My child is four year old. He has cough and he is having little bit temperature which is continuously fluctuating in if I check once it will show 100.3 degree Celsius and immediately I if I reset it or if I change the thermometer and check it will show 99.5°c should I give paracetamol to him or I should not give it please suggest and why it is happening please tell me?
My 6 month old has a fever, likely due to the seasonal change (one of the family members, 58F also has a fever at this time). I’m wondering if the correct dosage of paracetamol drops can be given. I have 100mg strength with 15ml. He weighs 6.5kg and his temperature is around 101 F.
My Daughter is getting a fever and continuous fever from lastt two days after she had a vaccination for the flu.
Hello Doctors,
We have a few questions regarding the care of our 11-day-old newborn:
Scalp: There is some dirt/build-up on his scalp. How should we clean it, and what should we use?
Stool and urine: How many times a day is it normal for a newborn to pass stool and urine?
Umbilical cord: His umbilical cord has fallen off. How should we clean and care for the navel area, and how should we keep it clean?
Bathing: When can we start giving our newborn a proper bath?
Oil massage: When can we start oil massage, and is there any particular type of oil that you recommend?
Thank you.
