Suggest Ways To Improve The Diet Of 1 Year Old
Brief Answer:
No need to worry about stools
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Dear Ms XXXXXXX
1. Loss of appetite is quite common during respiratory infection
2.Also there is no need to be worried about baby not passing stools once 1 1/2 days.
Babies have their own bowel habits, they may occasionally pass stools twice a day and sometimes once in 2 days. They are all normal variation depending on health and food intake. As the food intake has been low it is likely to be the cause.
Ensuring good intake of water and diet will take care of it.
If you are still apprehensive you can insert Dulcolax Pediatric Suppository into the rectum once.
3. I would not recommend giving Nowrom(Albendazole) in a 1 year old baby. It is only indicated in presence of documented worm infestation
I would suggest the following for cough and cold
1. Normal saline drops: Put 2-3 drops in each nose 6 times a day
2. Solvincold AF drops 1 ml three times a day
3. Steam inhalation: Preferably use electronic steamer, maintain safe distance from kid. Hot and humid air is less likely to induce cough.
4. Decocotion: To a cup of milk+20 Tulsi leaves+ 1/2 spoon of turmeric + 2 spoon sugar. Bring it to boil. Filter it and feed the baby warm. It will take care of cough.
Do keep me updated about progress.
Wishing you and your family a very happy and healthy life.
Take Care
