Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I suggest you get a chest X-ray and a blood test to know the level of infection, rather than changing the antibiotics.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Single lymph node has no significance if there are no associated infections.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. This is a common concern that every mother has. Kids are fussy eaters and we should inculcate good food habits in them.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Yes. Instead of using the Levolin Syrup, I suggest you use Levolin (Levosalbutamol and Levalbuterol) nebulization. The medicine goes directly into the lungs and the dose is also very less. In syrup, the dose is high and it reaches blood first then it gets absorbed into lungs and then the action starts.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. The color of the poop does not matter much unless it is dark black, which is a possible sign of occult blood. Usually poops in babies on formula feed is dark green. A breastfed baby will have golden yellow poop. So, do not be worried at all.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Most of the kids do not respond to Paracetamol alone which is present in P-250.

If the child has a fever between those six hours, you can give Meftal P.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. When has this spinal tap been done? Are headaches and back pain post spinal tap? Lumbar puncture or spinal tap causes a headache and back pain in almost all kids. If the spinal tap was done due to a headache then it is to rule out meningitis. You can just give any painkiller for relief until the investigations are done. If it is persisting, the ENT (ear, nose, and throat) and ophthalmology opinions should also be taken regarding a headache.
