nootropil syrup

Nootropil(piracetam) can be used to treat dyslexic children.

well, the 20% notropil (cost RM80) 4mls twice a day can be used to treat cognitive impairment in children

study from Van Hout % Giurgea concluded that " nootropil (piracetam) may also have a specific effect on some separate circuits of the left hemisphere and especially those functional aspects implied in reading and verbal memory"

So, gonna try it?

Children with high feve

Rule no 1: Don't be panic

Rule no 2: Treat fever with syrup paracetmol 15mg/kg/dose

Rule no 3: If within one hour fever still spiking, >38oC, I would recommend voren suppository according to body weight.

Cataflam oral drops (weight /4) drops 6 – 8 hourly is equally effective,

Rule no 4: Tepid sponging using towel and cold water.
Wear thin shirts (not long sleeves).

In the event if the first antibiotics is not working, for example, rocephin (50mg/kg/dose), and it had been used for 2 days, the child still having fever, do consider possibility of resistance, (beta lactamases inhibitor ).

I would recommend switching to IV sulperazone or iv Tienam.
