Is This Prescribed Advent Dosage Safe For Fever And Throat Pain In A Child?
My son, 39 kg, 6 years old, was having fever and throat pain. On visiting the doctor he has prescribed advent syrup 457 mg and dosage as 5 ml three times a day for seven days.. . From the second day son is alright.. So should I continue the medicine for seven days... Isn t the dose too high??? Shall I stop it after 5 days
Understanding your concern. As per your query your son have symptoms of fever and throat pain which could be due to viral/ bacterial infection of body. Compromised Immunity of child exaggerating condition. I would suggest you nothing to worry about it. You have to booster your immunity by taking multivitamins and diet rich in vitamin A. You should take NSAID medication along with antibiotic such as Levofloxacin. You should take plenty of fluids. Avoid taking any sharp and oily food substances. Yes 457 mg is quiet high dose for child, you should try to take little mild dosage. You should take soft and bland food. You should take fresh juices in diet. Try to divide your meals in small fractions rather than having bulk at a time. Visit general physician once and get it examined. Go for blood tests as well. Start treatment after proper diagnosis.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
