Is the air conditioner the reason for my son's high temperature and unhealthy sleep pattern?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The answer to your queries are as follows;

1) Temperature of 99 F, 100 F, and even 101 F are not considered high. Only if the temperature is more than 104 F it should be concerned.

2) It is important to know the method of recording the temperature. It will not be accounted if the temperature is recorded from the forehead, oral cavity, rectum, or ears. Only a temperature taken from the armpit with the digital thermometer is reliable.

3) If in digital thermometer in the armpit shows a temperature of 103 F or more for more than three days, the child needs to be investigated.

4) Regarding sleep issues, I presume that the child will have a blocked nose due to the air conditioner leading to sleep disturbances. So, kindly maintain your room temperature at no less than 100 F.

5) AC cannot cause fever.

Regards.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Measuring the temperature of the forehead is a wrong technique as I have explained previously. It is not a health problem. Regarding constipation, start the child on Muout powder (stool softener) for 14 days. (The dose should be as per the current weight and age of the child). Reduce intake of chips, and chocolates and increase intake of water. The proper sleep cycle starts at the age of six to eight years. Till then sleep cycles may be erratic. It could be possible that the child may be having stomach pain due to constipation, which causes the child to wake up in the middle of their sleep. Hence, if constipation is treated, then the sleep cycle will get improved.

You can give two scoops of Muout powder in a glass of water early in the morning on an empty stomach for two to three consecutive days after which you will need to reduce the dose to half a scoop in one glass of water early in the morning on empty stomach for the next 12 days.

Neopeptine (palatal preparation of digestive enzymes) or for that matter any digestive enzyme medications are not advised unless there is a proven indication for the same. The blood report indicates very minimal anemia (low iron). However, medication to increase iron can only be started after the MuOut course is over.

Hi,

The blood reports suggest iron deficiency anemia. However, iron cannot be started unless the Muout course is completed.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Please check the dose of Muout given to the child. It is given in tapered doses with a high dose (two scoops ) for the first two days and a low dose (half scoop) for the next 12 days, depending on the weight of the child. It may be given daily with the same dose along with other laxatives leading to watery stools. Please look into it and let me know. The child will require Syrup Ferronia XT (30 mg/5 ml) 5 ml (Ferrous ascorbate) once at night for a month. I do not recommend Smuth syrup (Liquid paraffin 1.25 ml/ 5 ml), Milk of magnesia (300 mg / 5 ml), and Sodium picosulfate 3.33 mg / 5 ml).

I hope this information helps provide some insight into your symptoms.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

These symptoms are interrelated and mostly due to constipation. The weight loss may again be due to stomach discomfort, which makes the child consume less food. You have not mentioned how much weight loss the child has undergone. The treatment for constipation as well as iron deficiency has already been explained previously. It will take at least a week for you to see the effects. The gums being red may be due to teeth eruption. Regarding the increased temperature around the head, you have already checked the temperature and I have previously even explained to you how temperature is to be checked and what was the fault while you checked.

I hope this information helps provide some insight into your symptoms.

After the course of Muout, you can start, the following medicines:

1. Syrup. Zincovit (multivitamin) 2.5 ml once a day for three months.

2. Syrup. Calcimax P (calcium supplements) 5 ml twice a day for three months. Continue the iron supplements as advised. Consult your doctor and take the medicines accordingly.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Gripe water is not at all recommended. Giving medication for loose motions (like Sporit GG) when you are giving medications for passing motions (MuOut) does not make sense.

I am here to help you get the best medical advice.

Please start Syrup Cetzine (Cetirizine 5 mg/ 5 ml) 4 ml thrice a day for three days and Syp. Levolin (Levosalbutamol 0.63 mg) 4 ml twice a day for five to seven days and observe. Consult a doctor and use the medication accordingly. Avoid any home-based remedies and watch for any breathlessness. If there is any breathlessness, it is best to get the child evaluated physically by a pediatrician.

Hi,

I read your query and understand your concern.

It is less likely that he is refusing to wear clothes because of his health. It is because of the habit that he may be refusing to wear clothes. I would suggest trying different types of clothing and seeing what he keeps and what he does not. Different colors, different patterns, different types, etc.

Yes, Darolac (Bacillus subtilis HU58) would do. If your son is very weak, you can start supplements like Syp. Zincovit (multivitamin) 5 ml once in the morning and Syp. Calcimax P (calcium supplement) 5 ml twice a day for three months and observe. Consult your doctor and give the medicines accordingly.

One such episode can be ignored. However, if repeat such episodes occur, I advise doing the following investigations:

1.CBC (complete blood count).

2. SGPT (Serum Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase).

3.Bilirubin test.

As per your description, the child is required to be evaluated physically to check for any toenail infection and if it needs removal. Till then, you can apply T bact ointment (Mupirocin 2% w/w) to the nail. The child may even require oral antibiotics depending on the clinical findings.
