Father of a 5 yr 11 m old boy4 years ago
Q.

My son is 1 yr 9 months old. He is very active however sine last 2nd Jan 2022 he is very reluctant while eating. I have asked this question before also in this platform only and a pediatrician suggested to add dry fruits, colorful veggies etc in his food since children are often fussy in eating. But we have tried that too, but still no success. The only food which he is taking on his own as of now is via breastfeeding. He is OT playing also that much and has become very less active in last few days. Additional symptoms which I have noticed is buzzing sound from his chest while breathing, might be because of any congestion. His body was warm today so when temp was checked it was 100.4 F. Given Calpol drops now. Any suggestions from any pediatrician. Any medications? Being a pharmacist myself I am aware of medications but do not want to take any chance with own baby. So, looking for a pediatricians opinion.

A. Fever is a response of the body to any kind of infection or any inflammatory process in body so you caxn give paracetamol in a dose of 15 mg/kg/dose as the first line treatment also this dose can ber again repeated after every 5 to 6 hours if fever is repeating. and you can also do cold sponging of the body if required

A. Coriander Seeds Phytonutrients and vitamins present in coriander (dhaniya) seeds help in building the body’s immunity. This can effectively protect your child against viral fever. Add coriander seeds to boiling water. When the solution cools down, strain it, and add milk and sugar. Serve the soothing drink to your child to reduce the fever.
