Frequently asked questions
My child is experiencing abdominal pain alongside nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light. Is Pedicol Oral Drops appropriate for this scenario?
The combination of symptoms you described (abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, photophobia) may suggest a condition called abdominal migraine, characterized by recurring episodes of dull or moderate to severe abdominal pain lasting at least six months. It typically affects the midline or is poorly localized. Abdominal pain often occurs with other accompanying features like anorexia, nausea, headache, photophobia, and pallor. Please consult with a healthcare professional before administering Pedicol Oral Drops to ensure it's suitable for your child's specific situation.
What diagnostic tests should be performed if my child experiences abdominal pain?
Your doctor may recommend an abdominal ultrasound as part of the initial examination. In more severe cases, endoscopy and esophageal pH monitoring might also be considered to assess potential underlying conditions.
Which diseases should I avoid using Pedicol Oral Drops for?
Pedicol Oral Drops should not be administered in patients with obstructive or inflammatory digestive tract issues. These conditions can include heartburn, unstable cardiovascular diseases, obstructive uropathy, glaucoma, muscle weakness disorders, liver impairment, hyperthyroidism, neuropathy, and kidney impairment.
Can Pedicol Oral Drops be taken simultaneously with other medications?
It is essential to inform your doctor about all other medications your child is taking before starting Pedicol Oral Drops. Additionally, consulting with a healthcare professional is recommended for any medicines to be administered to your child.
How should Pedicol Oral Drops be stored?
Pedicol Oral Drops must be kept at room temperature in a dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. It's crucial to store all medications out of children's reach and sight to prevent accidental ingestion.
