@Weyinmi23253, OK thanks doc

Dr Weyinmi Orighoye · Answer

@Juliechristo, Silver bird is the brand name of the Nigerian product of Eucalyptus oil. You can read about the uses of the oil. Though some medics won't agree with on it. Go to a pharmacy and ask for Silver Bird. It's in a blue small packet.

@Weyinmi23253, OK doc I don't know what is silver bird I have been reading about it on this platform but I don't know how it looks like pls where can I get it

Dr Weyinmi Orighoye · Answer

@Juliechristo, OK, that's good to know. You can continue the vitamin C for another 3 days. I know it's quite odd to say that Silver Bird can help clear her airways. Rub a little in your palms and let her inhale. Please don't over do it. Do it in the morning and evening.

Ehizogie Juliet · Answer

@Weyinmi23253, have taken to see the doctor he examined her chest and said is clear that with time she will stop making that sound

Dr Weyinmi Orighoye · Answer

@Juliechristo, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible to clarify if it's severe. It's called near drowning.

Dr Weyinmi Orighoye · Answer

@Akinbose, Yes you can give Abidec if there's lose of appetite. Not just out of the normal healthy baby, you just start giving drugs. It's not good. There just be a reason for giving drugs to a baby.

Dr Weyinmi Orighoye · Answer

@Omolade19270, The point still if your baby has lost appetite. Routine drugs are not necessary.

Dr Weyinmi Orighoye · Answer

@Anapuwa12856, Truly, there's really no need for such, because the breastmilk has all the nutrients a baby needs, until about 6months when the nutrients are not so sufficient for the baby, thus you start introducing semi solid foods.
