Can A Room Heat Convector Be Used Around An Infant?
Question: Can i use room heat convector for my 2 month old child....as it is getting cold...should it harm my child or is it fine..
Brief Answer:
Can be safely used
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
You can safely use heat convector and it does not pose any health hazards for your 2 year old child. Just do not keep it in handling distance of the child so that the child does not touch it and get a burn. If it is appropriately used, the only problem that it could cause is dryness of skin. Using some moisturizer would take care of the problem.
Regards,
Can be safely used

Sir can i use orasep ot mouth paint at my child's lips as he has got some infection at there...thanksss...and how many times a day i should apply that...
Brief Answer:
Orasep can be used for your child
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back.
Orasep contains benzocaine, menthol and cetylpyridinium chloride liquid which can be safely used for your child. You can use it thrice a day after meals.
Since you feel that your child could have infection over lips, it could be a sign of Vitamin B deficiency and I would suggest giving A to Z Drops 10 drops once daily. The medicine can be continued for some time without any problems.
Wish you and your family health.
