[|Human|] Sir/Ma am, Iam an anxious first-time mother based in Chennai. My daughter is 10 months 28 days old. Her birth weight was 3.5 kg, current weight 11.8 kg. She s on breast feeding & solids. She had been suffering from cold & cough for the past 4 days. At first we tried giving T-minic drops alongwith the Nasoclear nasal drops(prescribed by one doctor). When her symptoms got bad, there were coughing fits & audible wheezing, we consulted another paediatrician who s also a professor of paediatrics. After check-up(by stethoscope), he also used a device(that i later understood was a pulse oximeter), the readings were 95 & 70,(the sensor was put on her finger & toe respectively). The doctor appeared to be busy not allowing us time to ask questions or doubts. While he never explained anything regarding the findings, except that it should be 99 instead of 95,and that there was heavy phlegm in her chest built up due to cough syrups. He later proceeded to give the following list of medicines to take: 1. Montair LC kid 5ml @ N for 30 days 2. Liquid Advent Forte Syrup 2.5ml @M & N for 6 days 3. Liquid AB Phylline 10mg/ml 2.5ml @M & N for 7 days 4. Ivepread tablet4 @M-A-E-N for 3 days 5. Liquid Ceroplox 100 2.5ml @M & E There s no immediate family history of obesity, sugar or asthma(but my husband s grandmother had asthma, i don t know if that counts!). I would first of all, like to know, if it s safe for her to take so many medicines. It s extremely difficult to administer any of the above medicines(esp. the tablet which dissolved in water, is too bitter for my liking!) In just half a day s dosage administering, she s begun to show disinterest in eating & feeding breast milk. During the night, she also threw up twice(part of her solid intake & the other time, her breast feed!!) Does this mean, we should stop(any or all)the medicines?? Won t she have side effects? How to continue if her appetite s affected & her vomiting increases? Please find the time to explain & clarify, as i have to keep giving her the meds the next 3 days & I don t want my baby becoming sicker than she is, because of the drugs. An immediate response is highly appreciated.
[|AI|]  Your child seems to be having wheeze associated with acute respiratory infection. This is a viral infection does not need antibiotics (perplex, advent forte). An oximeter reading of 95% is absolutely normal. You have not mentioned the respiratory rate of the child, if the respiratory rate is less than 60 then there is no need to hospitalize.Moreover, too many medications have been started without proper investigation. Please take a repeat opinion as the prescribed medications are not rational
