if he starts to get worse, be sure to contact the dr to get his dosage changed. my little one gained so much weight so quickly, we had to change her dose after just 3 weeks. She gained 2 lbs in that time, and when we recalculated her dose based on her new weight it was actually double the original dose. I was surprised, but as my dh pointed out, it was a 20% change in weight.
by the way, my LC said colic and reflux often go hand in hand.
She prescribed him Amoxicillin for his ear and told me something about the dosage. All I remember her saying is something about 1 tsp. I figured the pharmacist would write the dosage on the bottle when I got it so I didn't bother asking the doctor to repeat herself. Well, when I got the medicine today is says take 1 tablet three times daily for 10 days. The only problem is that the Amoxicillin isn't in tablet form. It is a liquid.
my 14 weeks baby girl weighing 12 pounds spits up at least 3 to 4 times every feed (4 feeds per day) and she burps many times as well and she gets all cranky and fussy while burping or spitting.. She doesn't cry excessively but she just seems annoyed and we need to keep distracting her..
If your daughter has lost weight, or has not gained significant weight, in that she has dropped 2 or more major centiles since birth, i.e (25% to 2%, thus crossing 10% and 5%), then you should definitely consult with a pediatric gastroenterolgist, or at the very least, request that your pediatrician do a thorough work up for failure to thrive.
In dogs much higher doses (250mg/kg body weight) are needed to induce toxicity - which results in liver and kidney failure.
So I've visited some medicine dosage conversion sites but I am horrible at math to begin with and this is just overwhelmingly difficult for me to figure out exactly what amount was given to him. So here is the information that I hope will enable one of you to help me work this out.
The medicine bottle says this: 3.
PLEASE help. My question is do you think my child's liver, kidney, or heart could be damaged? How would I know?
Here is the story:
Greyson had a 102 fever for four days straight with no other symptoms while we were on vacation. I called the Dr.'s office in Florida and the receptionist who answered the phone just said to give him tylenol. That is what I had been doing-it would relieve the fever for just a bit but it would shoot right back to 102 as soon as it wore off.
She has no problems other than the number displayed on the monitor for low O2 level. She is alert, feeds well, gained weight and crossed her birth weight (6 pounds 1 ounce), cries normally. The pulmonology specialist did not notice any breathing problems but still not sure what the root cause of the low O2 level is.
No body is able to determine the root cause of this low O2 level. Can you please review this and the tests conducted (below) and give any hints or suggestions?
Our Ped GI stated that liquid Zantac is hard to correctly dose since it is given by weight and since babies are constantly growing, your little one may have outgrown his dose already. It can take as little as 2 weeks to outgrow Zantac dosage. This also might cause the constant waking. If your son is on solids it's very easy to use solutabs or capsules, just disolve solutab in food, or break capsule and pour contents into food.
This too after so much of encouragement. What could be wrong with her. Her doc said she might have GERD and she is on Zantac for a week now with no improvment.

His weight is just below the 5th percentile line and his height is just below the 10th percentile for his age. The height and weight are in the growth chart; however, the weight is on the bottom. Maybe the following will help you to know the amounts of food he needs daily to gain weight. Guideline for a 9-12 month old child should eat the following: Breast-milk or Formula (6-8oz) 3-5 feedings a day, Dairy 1 serving a day – cheese (1/2 oz) or yogurt (1/2 cup).
At 2 months he was diagosed with silent reflux and put on Zantac. He did very well for 1 week. He had his 2month shots and then spiraled out of control. He went to the hospital because he wasn't eating and his reflux seem extremely aggreviated. The hospital took adomial ex-rays (which were normal) and ran some blood tests that were normal. The hospital couldn't run certain tests because his blood kept clotting. His dose of Zantac was increased and he was put on Nutragamin formula.
