Lab result reads malaria+ only angry
Injection to stop d vomiting was given, injection to stop high fever nd malaria injection given too. He still can't eat only water nd juice. We are back home now feeling so tired nd my belle is feeling so heavy nd is paining me, carrying my little big baby is not a small something.
Forced him to drink his ors and he is sleeping now.
I hope when he wakes up he will want to eat nd take his drugs
God pls help me am not seeing myself again oo, since morning just a meal don't feel like eating. DH is not in town just me nd him nd d little girl dats stays with me.
God pls heal him for me embarassed embarassed
Plenty hugs, he'd be fine soon, look on the bright side, atleast he wasn't admitted, that would have been way more stressful. Multivite would bring back his appetite really fast.

I have been a silent reader but i cant let this pass. Pls let's stop self medicating our children. Bonababe is paracetamol and u still gave paracetamol again. Increase temperature in children could be anything, only a blood test can help make a diagnosis.

Jesu! All those drugs?
When a child has fever, check with a thermometer ( you can get one for 500 or less) to know the degree. Then give paracetamol only. A sponge bath with lukewarm water also helps bring down fever. If the fever spikes again after the first admin of paracetamol and/or if temp is in the 38 range then go to the hospital to request blood tests. If your baby is below 3 months hospital straight

OMG,
Bonababe has paracetamol in it already(plus dill water and something else that induces sleep, i cant recall) and then you still gave paracetamol. Did you atleast read the components of the drugs you administered? Thank God he threw them all up cuz he was overdosed honestly.
If the fever persists after administering paracetamol, please take him to see a doctor.

Sunbestie and Jessie21 it is well with your children. May the Lords hand rest upon them.


At this point it should be boldly written in the mind of mummies that all these teething meds for babies is just (a scam) Paracetamol. Most of them don't do anything than bring down temperature. Please teeth will surely sprout and paracetamol will do the trick. But if you want to go the teething medicine way, don't include another paracetamol biko. Say NO to drug abuse.

I was forced to buy a bottle of piccan about 3k or so because my son had high temperature from crèche and all the elders around me thought it was jobless of me to go to hospital for ordinary 'teething temperature' I checked the composition and I saw paracetamol and Diphenhydramine Hcl as active ingredients with a far greater percentage going to paracetamol.

I Used it that night but high fever continued through the night. I took him to the hospital early morning and infection and malaria was diagnosed. I have never touched the piccan since then. I was just wondering and shaking my head for my friend that has used about 8 bottles of piccan because she started giving her baby from 3 months. Please enough of the self medication.

Sunbestie the Lord is your strength and your baby is going to be alright. Please take it easy and get some rest yourself.

Jessie21 always check baby's temperature before administering paracetamol. Too much of it can be dangerous. Best thing is to see a doctor.

Since other mamas answered the other questions you had, I’ll answer the one about sticking out tongue. I noticed my DD had it when she clocked 4 months. It just started one day like that and tbh, it was hilarious to watch cos she did it almost all the time. It is called tongue thrust reflex and should go away by or before 6 months when you have to introduce solids. Once it stops, the next weird thing you’ll notice is they start tightening their lips when you want to give them something they don’t want/know, clicking their tongues , spitting stuff out intentionally and blowing bubbles with saliva... grin cheesy

Stay strong mama and don’t let google give you High BP...just enjoy the process and milestones

Ajakaiye83:

Pls I need your help.

Seems my baby has hypotonia also called floppy syndrome.
His muscle tone is very low.Has poor neck control,low weight and can't bear weight on legs at 4 Months.
Sticks out tongue occasionally.
Birth weight is 2.3kg and present weight is 4.4kg

The organic baby soap might not be sitting well with her skin. If her skin is dry, scaly and peeling there's a high chance that the soap is the culprit, it's drying her skin out.
See a Dr first and fore most and get it treated. Then you change soaps, use baby soap like Aveeno, Boots, Cussons or this popular one that is expensive o.... What is it called again sef?

Do you have any similarities with the child, such as the same posture for sleeping, or maybe you get up at the same time ....

Giddyperson:

Your wahala is not too much, what are senior mamas for wink


You said he didn't finish it, so it couldn't have been too small. Maybe he just prefers the breastmilk. Many babies woulld totally reject formula at this age especially from mum, but he would most likely take it from the creche nannies and finish it cuz he would be hungry then and you won't be there all the time to provide plan B. keep trying with the formula for now to be sure exactly what quantity he can finish but if you still ain't sure then tell the creche people to make the 180ml for him, you can always increase or reduce it depending on the reports from the nanny.


Thank u very much... I really appreciate

Let me share my experience
Whenever my baby is running temperature, I use to give my daughter a particular teething drug and the temperature will disappear, the day this temperature refuse to disappear, we landed at the hospital and test shows high infection and malaria. She was admitted at the hospital, so later when the doctor was with her, I asked him several questions and one of it is that 'how come the infection is so high'? He said because I have been suppressing the fever for too long. I felt bad because I know I was the one to blame for what happened. I learnt my lesson in a hard way, it disturbed my Christmas plan.
Please mamas, if you have administered paracetamol for three days and temperature still come up, please go to the hospital. Temperature get levels o

dear mothers pls com to my aid
my daughter of 3month has dis skin rash I don't tink its even rash self, her skin is very scaly lyk frog and dry sometimes peel, dis tin jst refused to go, av used every every prescribed to me yet d tin refused to go at one tym it looked lyk it has gone nw back again pls help me as am nt happy with her skin texture and appearance her face has heat rash which has dried nw but d look is nt gud.
note: I use organic black soap for her and coconut oil as cream

For a child with dry skin, use oilatum. This is what some pediatrician/ dermatologist would prescribe for you. Oilatum baby soap and cream is Uk product. I started using it for my daughter from 9 month after using plenty cream and I am still on it now that she’s a toddler.

Also, you can visit pediatrician for their opinion
