Hello Doctor, My Daughter 7 Years Old Was Prescribed For
Question: Hello Doctor, My daughter 7 years old was prescribed for 60000IU vitamin D3 Solution 2.5ml per month. Accidentally we gave the whole 5 ml solution instead of 2.5ml.
Is this too dangerous? Immediate doctor attention required?
Is this too dangerous? Immediate doctor attention required?
Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry!
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for writing to us, and I understand your concern.
Depending on the clinical condition, we used to give 60000U once weakly also. Even there are times when we give 6 lakh units injection all at once.
So the dose you gave(5ml=60000U) is still with in the recommended range only, nothing to worry. Just skip coming one month dose, so that the cumulative dose will be same as your doctor's plan
I hope this answer will help
Be relaxed

Another question :
My son 4 years old, has been suffering from continous cough and cold for so many months. Doctor says that it is due to allergic food which stimulates it, so adviced to use following medication.
1.Budecart 200(puff) - 1 puff twice daily
2.Asthalin 100(puff) - as required when he coughs very frequently.
We have been using this for past 4 months but seems to be of no cure.
Can we use Budecart prolonged time?It seems to be like Steriod medicine? Is there any other alternative that we you recommend?

Brief Answer:
suggestive of asthma
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
From the details given, it looks like allergic cough(bronchial asthma) only.
Your doctor has prescribed correct medicines(inhalers). We have to use Budesonide inhaler regularly, regardless of symptoms, and Salbutamol inhaler when needed. After a good period of control, we can think of gradual tapering down. If no improvement after 1-2 months, we will have to gradually increase the dose/combination of inhalers. Your doctor will guide in this.But, before this, we need to correct the technique of inhalation. The video i could not find/access. Alternately, your can e-mail it o customer care, tagging my name.
Meanwhile, few life style tips can help reduce symptoms:
1. Keep the house as dust free as possible- use wet mopping only for cleaning.
2. Keep him away from smoke(tobacco/other smokes)
3. Pets are better avoided
4. Avoid using woollen clothes/blankets
5. Avoid exposure to cold atmosphere.
I hope this answer will help
Take care.

Brief Answer:
You are using it correctly
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
I have seen the video, and the technique is fine!
Just ensure that seal between mask and skin intact throughout. The mask seems a bit oversized for him, but it will not be a problem if he keeps the mouth open during inhalation(to fit the mask size)
I hope I have addressed all your concerns. I would be happy to help if you need any further assistance.
Otherwise you can close the discussion, and kindly rate the answer
Wishing you all healthy days ahead
