What Causes White Spots Below The Eye And Around The Chest In A 17 Month Old?

Sir, My 17 month old son has been noticed white spot below left eye and few white patches in body around chest. We took him to a pediatric dermatologist and have been diagnosed as “Vitiligo”. The doctor has advised medicines Teczine Syrup 3ml and Pimecrolimus cream. I am worried to use the medicines since my son is very young. Also recently for 3-4 months he is catching cold, runny nose, cough and loss of appetite. I am very puzzled and under these circumstances, I would request you to kindly seek your advice and let me know the necessary treatment of my son. Please let me know if you would need any further information about my son. Regards Partha Sarathi Das

Hi dear,I understand your concern, we don't have so much searchings how to treat Vitiligo,just symptomatic therapy. Teczine Syrup is good antihistamine, it will give relief for rhinitis. Pimecrolimus is used only externally, it will not harmful for all organizm.You can use for short period -3-5 days,if not changes, then don't use. For cough I usually recommend herbal medicine-Kuka syrup 1/2 teaspoon twice a day .Take steam inhalation with soda water -1 teaspoon for 2 glasses,take steam during 5 minutes. Then do vibrational massage trice a day ask her cough.If she can give to her Sualin 1 tablet trice a day to resolve. Also Zincovit 5 ml should be given daily for boosting immunity.
Wish your baby speedy recovery If you have more questions ,then don't hesitate to write us,I always happy to help.
