My 1.5 year old baby has a cough and cold. The doctor told me to give my baby Solvin. I have given Solvin for the cough. Is it the wrong medication? ## You should follow the doctor's instructions, this medication is commonly used to treat cold symptoms. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness, and insomnia. How is your baby doing? Has there been any change?

Hi there, My baby is 5months old. He's got a blocked nose and keeps coughing. He's got flu & cold symtoms. what can I use as he's very restless and he's chest are weasing when he drinks. ## Hello, Ann! How is your son doing? At his age, you really shouldn't give him anything, without his doctor's approval. It could be very dangerous to give him the wrong medication, or the wrong dosage. Has it cleared up, or is he still sick? ## My great grandson is 5 months old, cold symptoms lots of flem, runny nose, coughing, wheezing, Dr perscribed Prednizone. never heard of a baby getting prednizone? Is it really safe.

Is it safe for a 3-year old to take sinecod forte on empty stomach? What are the side effects? ## Since this is not a US prescription medication, I don't have this type of information available on it. Was it prescribed by their doctor and if so, what did the doctor recommend? ## I've had a cold for two weeks. I'm congested with a deep cough and my body aches. What should I be taking? Should I be taking antibiotics?

Acetaminophen + Chlorpheniramine + Pseudoephedrine

Cold medicines are a group of medications taken individually or in combination as a treatment for the symptoms of the common cold and similar conditions of the upper respiratory tract. The term encompasses a broad array of drugs, including analgesics, antihistamines and decongestants, among many others. It also includes drugs which are marketed as cough suppressants or antitussives, but their effectiveness in reducing cough symptoms is unclear or minimal.[1][2]...

Is it ok if I take Nyquil while I'm taking XL3 pills for a cold ## Hello, SallyAnn! How are you? No, it would be best not to double up, because they both contain Acetaminophen and taking too much of it in a day can result in overdose toxicity, which has the potential to be fatal. They both also contain decongestants and cough suppressants, so there is no need for both of them. The FDA lists the typical side effects of these medications as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

Can diphenhydramine 50mg be used for cold and cough? ## Hello, Stephanie! How are you? It is an antihistamine, so it may help a little, but it will not do anything to eradicate the cold itself, that just has to run its course. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, drowsiness and dry mouth. They also have a version specifically to help with cold symptoms that contains additional ingredients. Are you on any other medications? ## Not for the cold, but for diabetes and hypertension.

Hi... I am suffering from fever since yesterday night. What type of antibiotics can I take for fevers, cold and cough? ## Have you consulted your doctor? Some illnesses, such as cold, or flu are caused by viruses, rather than bacteria, so antibiotics will not help. The NIH lists their typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. In such cases, taking an antibiotic could result in your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria, so you should not take one, unless your doctor instructs you to do so. ## I need a medicine for an itchy throat and runny nose, and also an antibiotic to stop the itchiness. ## Sir my father age is 40years he is problems to in2 month that he was come to fever and painun body he take is flexon but not ...

My son is 5 months old weighting 5 Kg. He is suffering from a cough and cold and he was given Ofloxacin suspension (Brand Name: NEOF) and no improvement after 4 days also. Is it a better medicine for cough and cold? Please advise me on the issue. ## Ofloxacin is in a class of antibiotics known as Quinolone Antibiotics. These antibiotics have been banned in the United States for children for their potential to cause tendon, cartilage, joint and muscle problems and the FDA found that these problems were too risky to give this drug to growing children. It would be prudent to ask your doctor for an alternative antibiotic to any of the Quinolones, as it is simply too risky to give them to children. In addition, this is an antibiotic, and antibiotics are only useful for bacterial infections. ...

Hi my three year old son gets viral nd cold cough very frequently. dis time the duration was 20 days. he is now suffering frm viral again. his immunity is very weak. what should i do to increase his immunity. he is always on some or the other medicine. ## Frequent colds and such are normal for children, since they frequently put things in to their mouths and associate with other children that may be carrying it. There's really not much you can do to change it, except for being careful to not take him around sick people and to make sure to clean and sterilize his toys and such. Have you consulted his doctor to make sure something more serious isn't going on?
