3 mahine se kam baby ko Calpol de sakte hain?
Bilkul nahi bina doctor consultation ke. 3 mahine se kam baby mein bukhar (100.4°F+) medical emergency hai — turant ER ya pediatrician ko dikhayen. Newborn mein bukhar serious bacterial infection (sepsis, meningitis) ka sign ho sakti. Doctor sirf consultation ke baad Calpol drops (75 mg single dose) dega.
Calpol aur Panadol saath de sakte hain?
Bilkul nahi. Calpol aur Panadol dono mein same drug (paracetamol) hai — saath dene se overdose aur liver damage ka khatra. Yeh sab paracetamol contain karte hain: Calpol, Panadol, Disprol, Pyromol, Hilton. Cold/flu syrups bhi check karein. Dose calculate karte waqt total paracetamol dekhna chahiye, brand alag bhi ho.
Calpol ke saath sponging karein?
Haan, bukhar utaarne mein madad. Magar gungune (warm) pani se, thande pani se BILKUL nahi — shivering hoti hai aur ulta bukhar barhta hai. Ice bhi nahi. 15-20 minute har 1-2 ghante. Maathay aur gardan pe geela kapra, bagal aur ghutno ke peeche bhi. Bohat fluids dete rahein. Bacha shiver kare to ruk jaein.
Bukhar mein Calpol ya Brufen syrup behtar hai?
Calpol (paracetamol) safer aur first-line hai — 3 mahine+ bachon mein, khaali pet OK, dengue mein safe. Brufen syrup (ibuprofen) sirf 6 mahine+ bachon mein, khaane ke saath, anti-inflammatory bhi (joint pain mein behtar), magar dengue mein bilkul nahi (bleeding risk). High persistent bukhar mein doctor dono alternate kar sakte hain. Aspirin bachon ko bilkul nahi (Reye's syndrome).
