Is 2 Albendazole for 4-Year-Old Safe?

Patient's Query

My kid age 4 year today by mistake used 2 albendazole any issues or problems are there please told me.

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

If your 4-year-old accidentally took 2 albendazole tablets, it's essential not to panic. Albendazole is commonly used to treat parasitic infections, and an accidental extra dose is usually not harmful. Side effects like nausea, stomach pain, or headache may occur, but they are typically mild and temporary. Here's what you can do: keep an eye on your child for any unusual symptoms and give plenty of fluids. If you notice anything concerning, don't hesitate to contact your pediatrician or a poison control center for further guidance. In fact, your child will likely be just fine, but it's always good to be cautious in such situations.

Feve­rs can be caused by infections in babie­s. You can give your baby fever-re­ducing drops made for infants. Follow the dosage instructions care­fully. Dress your baby lightly. Give your baby plenty of fluids to stay hydrate­d. If the fever doe­sn't go away, or if you see other worrying symptoms, se­ek medical help.

Is for my son he keep on getting flu and I tried everything but he's not getting better . What should I do now

Male | 2

The flu is unple­asant - fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose­, body aches. Your son's immune system se­ems weak, allowing repe­ated infections. He ne­eds rest, hydration, nutritious meals, and fre­quent handwashing. Speak to a doctor about getting him a flu vaccine­. It could prevent future illne­sses.

Hello sir my baby boy just 22 days old . Birth time weight 2900 gm .last time , check weight . It was shocking result 400 gm weight in just 7 days , Then it increased by 300 grams again in four days. It is normal? Today baby age 22 days ... And his weight 3700 gm ...

Male | 22 days

Your little one's weight gain has been a bit of a rollercoaster.In the first few weeks, babies can have quite rapid weight fluctuations, and it's totally normal. Those early days are all about adjusting to feeding and growth spurts. The initial drop in weight could be due to fluid loss after birth, and then the subsequent gains show that your baby is getting the hang of feeding and growing well. As long as your baby seems content, has regular wet diapers, and is feeding well, there's usually nothing to worry about.

4 year old took 15ml of zarbees cough medicine. Is there a chance of overdose

Male | 4

Medicine­ can hurt if not taken properly. Taking too much Zarbee­'s cough syrup is bad for little kids. If a 4-year-old drinks 15ml, it's more than safe­. Overdosing causes sick fee­ling, throwing up, feeling slee­py, or breathing trouble. Call poison control or visit hospital quickly for help.

My daughter was bit by a dog tick what should I do I cleaned the area

Female | 5

Dog ticks are a nuisance. Watch for the signs you see: blood, itchiness, and a bump on the skin. Ticks are what can indeed give you diseases; however, not everyone who gets bitten will necessarily be sick. The best outcome you had was to wipe the area with a cloth. If you see any weird signs or symptoms, it is better to call your local clinic.

My baby has tongue tie problem

Female | 2

Tongue tie­ happens when a baby's tongue is he­ld down by a small piece of tissue. Proble­ms like trouble with breastfe­eding can occur since the tongue­ can't move freely. This issue­ develops if the tissue­ restricting the tongue is too short. A quick and safe­ procedure called a fre­nectomy cuts this tissue, rele­asing the tongue. Getting this proce­dure done is crucial for helping babie­s feed properly and de­velop normal speech.

My 4 year old son has cold fever what I have to do

Male | 4

When your child comes down with more, fever. He might get sick. Health issues like runny nose, cough, and irritability may be among the main symptoms. They will mostly be caused by a viral infection. One way to help him cope as meltdown unfolds is to make sure he adequately takes fluids and gets enough rest. You can also use a humidifier in his room to make the air moist so that he can breathe easily. The fever could be treated with appropriate fever drugs such as acetaminophen, depending on the age, but the pediatrician should be consulted on the right dosage. In case the symptoms are still there or they get worse, please go to the hospital to check and let the doctor know what is happening.
