Avatar f tn what dosage of oxycontin should you give a child undre the age of 18? I'm writing a paper on it.
Avatar m tn To verify the side effects were caused by the ranitidine I would stop for a few weeks and use TUMS instead. I repeated this cycle several times. The symptoms would go away each time I was off the ranitidine for a week or so. I also noticed when taking TUMS that I only need to take less than one tablet for it to be effective (say about 500 mg /day. Occasionally 750mg). One question I have is would it be better to only take Tums instead - even if I need to use ~500mg each day?
Avatar n tn My son didn't even notice it. Just keep the front of his diaper rubbed down with a lot of Vaseline. Him being that young I would ask your pediatrition instead of us. We wouldn't be able to tell you the dosage and what not. I don't believe babies that young are suppose to take anything though. I know it's hard looking at their little weenis like that though.
Avatar f tn ve read/heard a lot of stories/studies about it being bad for infants. *I* personally have never used it on an infant. Maybe you could research a little more on it and make your personal decision. Something else I would recommend having is a humidifier. I've really liked my ear thermometer. But again it's all a matter of personal choice. I DO recommend having a rectal thermometer for small infants. Sometimes the hospital/doctors prefer to have a rectal reading.

Avatar n tn During the first six months of life, infants should not get more than 1,000 IU of vitamin D daily, while the daily dosage of vitamin D for infants up to 12 months old should not exceed 1,500 IU. The tolerable upper intake level for vitamin D for toddlers younger than 4 years old and young children between 4 and 8 years old are 2,500 IU and 3,000 IU, respectively. Anyone age 9 or older should not get more than 4,000 IU of vitamin D in a day. Read more: http://www.livestrong.
Avatar n tn National Library of Medicine, amoxicillin is available in a pediatric drop form for infants. Each ml of this bubble-gum flavored liquid contains 50 mg of amoxicillin, states Rx List.

Avatar n tn Thank you so much for taking the trouble to reply to me, it was decaffeinated coffee but it has really upset everything.The Ranitidine is an acid suppressor and until I eventually got the high dose of that you can't imagine how I felt. I am in the UK and I first of all attended the national health service clinic for nearly 18 months before I paid privately for a test that proved I was producing this acid and I then got the higher dose of Ranitidine etc.
Avatar f tn I too get heartburn late at night and it gets worse laying on my left side and my remedy has been been a box of water ice lol but thanx again for this tip
Avatar f tn After running routine physical exam, the doctor determined that my shortness of breath was do to acid relux. She started me on ranitidine. For 2 1/2 days I felt good. This morning I woke to an adrenaline rush. It lasted for 8 hours. I also had shortness of breath and I was really congested and my mouth really dry. I called the doctor and she just got back to me saying that ranitidine does not cause adrenaline rushes. She can't explain my shortness of breath. Could I have an allergy?
Avatar f tn Can we just discuss the pros and cons for daycare for infants as early as 6 weeks? Im still uncertain of daycare for my newborn.

Avatar n tn I have had a feeling of a lump in my throat almost continuously for several months now - used to be off and on but now it's al the time. I have had several tests done due to some gastro symptoms. An endoscopy showed that there is mild/moderate hyperplasia in a small area at the z-line. The doc said its prob a reaction to inflamation from light reflux. My questions are, is it possible that the lump feeling is a result of the hyperplasia?
520191 tn?1355635402 Over a year ago i was given ranitidine for the treatment of GERD. I took my first dose and i started to feel nausea so i went to bed, during the night i started vomiting and not like any vomit i had ever experienced before. i thought nothing of it, until my heart began to race through out the night. the next morning i thought i might be allergic to one of my medication as i was prescribed 2 medication all at once.
Avatar n tn Esophageal clearance is similar in infants and adults, although evidence of reduced peristaltic [the motion of the esophagus and intestine that moves the food through them] activity in preterm infants has been reported. [The article mentions that an Anatomic factor that contributes to GER is:] The angle of His (made by the esophagus and the axis of the stomach) is obtuse in newborns but decreases as infants develop. This ensures a more effective barrier against GER.
Avatar f tn Some studies have linked EBV with Hashimoto's, but there's nothing conclusive. Some doctors have felt that Fibromyalgia is, basically, un or under-treated hypothyroidism, since Fibro and hypothyroidism share many symptoms and many/most of the symptoms go away if the patient is treated adequately with thyroid hormones.
Avatar n tn I heard that non treatment of this problem will causes major issues with physical and mental development of children’s. If we are treating properly for this disease then any issue with physical and mental development of our kid? Q3.Does this disease causes any lessoning or hearing issues? Q4.I heard that a scanning is for identifying whether thyroid gland exit or not. Does this scanning will help the further treatment? Q5 .Is it possible o stop the medicine after 2 year Q6.
Avatar m tn Was your son also tested for the actual thyroid hormones, Free T3 and Free T4? If not, he should be. TSH levels are, typically, higher in infants; what was the range given on the lab report? Your son must have adequate thyroid hormones in order to grow and develop normally; treatment is just as effective and necessary in infants, as it is in adults.
