what to feed infants with dysentery .my daughter who is bottle fed has dysentery she is about 4 months and 23days . pls advice

Hi, It has been seen in our practice that bottle feeding no, how hygienically you give it, can lead to infections in infants.And only breastfeeding is safe till infant is 6 months of age.So try to give more of breastfeeds to the infant if possible.If complete breastfeeds are not feasible then please give undiluted pasteurized cow's milk by cup and spoon to the child.Any solid feeds are not recommended till 6 months of age.And since dysentery is always infective don't forget to give an anti ...

My Kid is 9 months old but she is underweight by 3 Kgs. Her current weight is 5.9 but she is active!!! As of now, we are giving Similac Stage 2 but her consumption is very very less. We have checked with our Doctors in India but Doctors are forcing us to feed her but she is not at all interested.. Can you please suggest any other solution to increase her appetite.

Thanks for your query Before commenting on her weight i would like to know her birth weight.A gain of half a kg per month is considered optimal.So if she is gaining half kg per month it is good.Also infant's weight gain is optimal on exclusive breastfeeding till 6 months of age.After 6 months of age we need to start complimentary feeding along with breastfeeds.Freshly prepared home made foodstuffs are preferred over commercial preparations.For first one to two months we should give homemade milk ...

Baby is suffering from cold and more importantly cough since past 2 days. Doctor has prescribed T-minic drops 0.5 ml oral for 3 days and post to which cough didnot subside, then to use Kufril drops 0.5 ml thrice a day. However on using first instance of T-minic baby had pooped 4 times (Can be because he was on antibiotics just a week back for ear infection. His stools were more in number atleast twice after every feed. But once medicnes are stopped his stools were back to normal and he poops only once a day). and also his cough has increased very much. His feeding routine got slightly distrubed as he is not able to complete the bottle with ease. He leaves an ounce or so sometimes due to stuffy nose or congestion. Are these medications safe for a 5 month old baby? if not what precautions to be taken to soothe him from cough and cold?

Thanks for your query... First of all we need to exclude lower respiratory tract infection which may include pneumonia or bronchiolitis.Take your child to a paediatrician for clinical examination.U mentioned your child was on antibiotics 3 times in last 4 months.Was it due to lactose intolerance only leading to loose motions or for some other illness also ?? Has exclusive bottle feeding advised to you by a paediatrician after diagnosis of lactose intolerance or the child was bottle fed since bi ...

My baby s 1month and 5 days old. She has gas trouble and cries entire night. My doc has suggested to give domstal 0.8ml every 6hours once either before half an hour of feed and after 2 hours of feed,but i understand dat domstal is for vomiting but my baby doesn't vomit much,it is very rare. Please suggest whether i should continue giving her domstal or Colicaid. If both can be given then in what intervals and is it safe to give both. And my baby doesn't wait for half an hour after giving domstal,she cries for feed

Domstal may be given for other causes than vomiting, such as for regulation of gut motility, which may lead to a 'gassy' state. That is why your doctor has prescribed domstal. Colicaid is meant for relief of colic. Both may be given together. Give domstal before feeds, preferably 30 mins, but a 1 month old will mostly not give you that time, he is always hungry! Never mind. ...

Hi, im 36, female, breastfeeding my 8 mos old baby. i have a history of acute pyelonephritis on 2006. Now i think its the same problem suffered from fever, chill, nausea for 3 days... i started to take cotrimoxazole in 3 days but switched to norfloxcin 400 mg but didnt let my baby feed on my breast. I had my urinalysis after 4 days. Result says my wbc/hpf is 8 to 14, mucous thread +, rbc/hpf is 1 - 3, ep cells +, crystals amophous phospates +. My question is what i the interpretation of my result? Should i continue norloxacin 400 mg? How many days 7 or up to 10 days? When can i let my baby breastfeed again? Thank you... --_Anna-

Switching from one antibiotic to another without finishing the course is not a good idea. Norfloxacin 400 should be taken twice daily for 5 days. You can breast feed your baby. But you must get your urine test for culture and sensitivity done immediately. ...

Hi My baby is 11 months old and he don't like to eat. Even he dont take breast feeding also. I tried so many time to feed him solid food but he refuse it.. but I feed him forcefully. Nw his waight is 8.8 nd his waight is not gaining. Plz tell me how to gain

Do not force feed your baby. Give him 3-4 meals a day. Try home based food like khichri (rice and dal), boiled and mashed vegetable, boiled egg, solid fruits like banana, papaya, apple, Dahi etc. Make the food tasty. Even if he takes small amounts of different types of food, it will be enough for him. Continue to breast feed. ...
