Hello everyone!!!!
Hope you are all doing well, safe and healthy?

Well let’s talk a little about this cold weather.

Keep warm but not too warm!!
Enjoy holidays but maintain your healthy diet!!
Keep vaccinated fully especially for under 5year old age group!!
Let’s all join hands and avoid cough syrups in children less than 12years despite the coughs and colds children have right now. Home remedies like warm salty water gargles, honey-lemon mixtures are more than enough to help ease the symptoms!!

Last but not the least, please have patience and do not jump into giving antibiotics all so often for children.

Let us all be part of preventing global antibiotic resistance and understand that viral infections can last for even upto 2weeks of symptoms but eventually they do recover.

Let’s take a visit to a medical doctor/Paediatrician for further assistance to differentiate bacterial from viral infections.

Thank you!!
Have a great weekend and holiday ahead!!
God Bless!!

Good morning everyone!!!

It’s been pretty cold so I thought why not throw a refresher on cough management!!

INFECTION - short duration max 2weeks
Treated with home remedies like warm salty water gargles or honey+lemon mixture 1tablespoon daily!! No cough syrups, steroids or mucolytic syrups will help. You are doing worse than good!!

ALLERGY - Recurrent cough or long standing, irritating cough that would just not go away!! Manage with inhalers/nasal sprays depending on where the allergy is arising from.

WHEEZING- Can be due to infection or allergy.
Treat with inhalers depending on cause!!

POINTS TO NOTE:
1. Please get advice from a Paediatrician for details on choice and dose of the medications to be used.
2. Inhalers do not cause dependence since they have minimal amount of steroid compared to oral cough syrups or oral steroids.
3. Inhalers are not used life long in all conditions!! Majority of infection related wheezing and cough is treated anywhere between 2-6weeks.

PLEASE DO NOT GET SCARED BY USE OF INHALERS!! They are safer than the cough syrups available in the market!!

Good morning everyone

Topic of the day

CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT!!

In short the first 2years of a child are very critical in brain development

How sharp your child will be even as an adult and how they will be able to deal with their life goals depends on the exposure the child gets in first 2 years of life!!!!

1) Please be available as parents and guardians
2) Please take time and talk to your children
3) Be there physically and mentally to communicate with your children
4) When the child needs your help or attention please keep that mobile fone away!!
5) Make sure they get adequate sleep! That happens only if they are well fed and get a comfortable place to sleep.

The more you communicate with your child, the sharper and brighter they become.

Good morning everyone!!
Let’s say something small about infant weaning.

I see many mothers starting with infant mixed flour porridge. Those are meant to supplement after u have started weaning.

Please mothers, start with single flour porridge. 2-3tablespoons once a day first then slowly increase according to how your child tolerates.

First 2weeks are like priming the infants stomach to get used to new types of food so do it slow and steady.

Go through my post on weaning for more tips.

Feel free to get in touch with me on Paediatrician at home or WhatsApp contact attached.
