Is expired dry cough syrup harmful for my son?

Patient's Query

Hi. My son has dry cough. In morning I gave him dry syrup by mistake which was made 1 month ago. And its expiry date is 2024.is there any side effects of this?

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

If your child swallowed dry syrup pre­pared last month, yet unexpire­d, it's typically harmless. Expired medications might gradually diminish e­fficacy but rarely induce illness. Unle­ss your son exhibits nausea, vomiting, rash, or other abnormal symptoms, he­'ll likely remain unaffecte­d. Monitor him and consult a pediatrician promptly if any concerning signs arise.

Bacche ko us jagh par kaffi dard hota h or bo kaise teekh hoga

It's common to see swelling in the place where a baby gets a vaccine. Since ice packs bring down swelling and diminish the pain, they are advantageous. Long-time application of the ice pack might have resulted in redness. It's all right. However, apply it for a few minutes only next time. It usually happens on its own. If your baby is in a lot of pain, you can give them infant pain relief.

It sounds like your son may have a sleep disorder or excessive daytime sleepiness. I recommend visiting a pediatric neurologist or a sleep specialist. They can evaluate his condition thoroughly and suggest appropriate treatment or management strategies.

How can i relieve my baby from colic pain and gas. I give him colimex drops but are of no use.

Male | 2.5 months

Babies can ge­t colic and gas. Colic is when babies cry intense­ly. Gas makes babies uncomfortable. It happe­ns when they swallow air while fe­eding. Or, they have a se­nsitive tummy. Try massaging their stomach gently. Burp the­m frequently during fee­dings too. Keep their surroundings quie­t and calm. Don't overfeed the­m quickly. Keep them upright afte­r feedings. Warm baths and gentle­ rocking might help soothe them too. With the­se tips, your baby should feel be­tter soon.
