Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Sir, My Son was suffered by fever and cold for last 15 days, when I consult an paedeatrician for my son she gave a medicine asks us to come back after a week. When we visit her after a week, there is slight fever. She asks to take X-ray and blood test. After viewing blood report and x-ray, she prescribed by son to take R-cinex Kid and Ruxmont-LC along with Liv-52 Syrup. Could you tell me doctor what has been happened to my son...
Hi...R-Cinex is an anti tuberculosis medicine. If I were your pediatrician I wouldn't give it or prescribe it without proper indication and thorough investigation. The indications being - 1. Contact with a TB case. 2. Mantoux test being positive when performed with 2TU. 3. Chronic fever and severe weight loss.
If above are not there I would suggest achieving a bacteriological diagnosis by doing a gastric juice for AFB and Xpert MTB.
