I think kendlez is in Port Harcourt. BMH should be Braithwaithe Memorial Hospital

MiracleMum:


I add water to the pap before putting in the fridge then i change the water every morning. Try it and see if there'll be a change.

ozycy:


You said you add things to the pap, what could that be and can it be the cause?
I know plain pap doesn't spoil fast even if you don't put in fridge.

shiller:

Good evening mamas.
My 6 months old baby coughs so hard he vomits and he's been scratching his eyes too since like 3 months ago (we saw a pead concerning the eyes and he prescribed chlorophenical eye drop which we used but the itching started again after a while).

I saw a paed in our private hospital on monday and she checked him and said his chest is clear that maybe it's infection and so she prescribed "Orelox Antibotics" which we've been administering since tuesday.

My mother-in-law is an advocate of govt hospitals as against private hospitals (she feels they are quacks) and has insisted we must go to BMH to see a paed there. We went today and after checking him the paed also said his chest is clear and said I shud place him on "clarithromycin antibiotic" and I shud discontinue the "Orelox" I've been using since tuesday.
Am so confused abt what to do. Has anyone experienced this symptom with her baby before? or does anyone know abt or used this orelox or clarithromycin antibiotic?
Help a confused mum.

Kendlez, what city are you in?

I'm speaking to 2 consultant paeditricians and they're saying that they don't think it's a bacterial infection because it should have cleared up by now. One is guessing it's an allergy. But they feel that the antibacterial meds are not be best for it. However, they stressed that it is guess work without seeing your baby. So if you can tell me what city you are, I can ask them to see if they know a good consultant around your area.

Please try and answer this quickly because they're not the easiest people to catch and they don't like answering patients whom they cannot see.

kendlez:


Thanks Onegai.
So sorry this iss coming a bit late. Am in port harcourt.

babythug:


You can simply augment with formula since you're sure she's not getting enough milk.

There are many good soaps and creams you just have to find what suits your budget and baby. It'll require some moderate level of trial and error. Good old Vaseline is suitable as body cream and many mums are now using Shea butter and coconut oil for their babies.

Hope this helps

Onegai:


They've disappeared again (weird family members ) but why not take all the info I've given you, do your but and then go to the GH and tell them your observations and that they should perhaps make recommendations on allergy meds.

please sabi mamas my Lo's nostrils are blocked and it really disturbs him especially in the midnight. I have used warm water to massage his chest and also steamed his nose with eucalyptus oil. it gets better after this but later gets blocked what can i use. it started yesterday

maureensylvia:
Johnson and Johnson products has really done a lot to my baby from mild rashes to big big rashes that looks like boils on his upper chest, back, forehead, head... Gosh!!! so painful he cries anytime I touches him makes me to cry too but thank God shaa he is recovering cos he was administered some drugs. pls if I may advice STOP the use of Johnson products cos what I experienced I won't wish my enemy that.

meanwhile pls recommend a baby product I will use on my baby I wanted to use Aveeno but I heard it was produced by Johnson's too...once bitten twice shy ...thanks in advance

AlphaHandMaiden:


You should get some saline nasal drops or nasal spray.
It helps sofens the mucus in the nose, and helps them breathe better.

I personally prefer the spray to the drops as it seems easier for me to apply.

If lo is older than 3 months you can get some olbas oil for children and put a few drops on his bib or the top of his clothes... somewhere he will be able to inhale the vapors as long as its not directly on the skin.

Also a few drops of breast milk into the nostrils is said to do the trick as well.

Good luck!
thanks for the quick response I appreciate . he is a year old

babythug:


Some children are just like that I guess. Na psychology we go use for am. Try blending potatoes maybe he will accept it. Then finger foods too let him reach out and feed himself. Try and arrange his meal times along with the rest of the family perhaps seeing you all eat will ginger him small. Don't fuss when he doesn't accept the food just pack it up after like 20 minutes whether or not he has eaten. He will improve with time. Try foods like sandwiches, fried potatoes- Irish and sweet, plantain maybe he will accept them. Like I said no fussing he will come round eventually.

Looks like dry skin to me. I think you should just moisturise more with Shea butter or any good baby moisture lotion even cussona should do! I hear sudo cream is a diaper /butt cream please be sure of its exact use before applying to other parts of baby's body

rezzy:

You can rub ori Shea Butter on it.

MetroTee:
Hello mummies in the house. I'm new here and just stumbled on this thread a few days ago. Please I have a question. My baby is 9 weeks old and we had visitors yesterday whose 4 month old baby has ela (not sure what it is in English)

My question now is- is ela transmissible? Because suddenly today the side of my baby's hair has fallen off and I feel this is too much of a coincidence. Also, I'd like to attack it head on if that's what it is. What would you advise as best course of treatment?

Thank you!
