Question : started root canal..dentist subscribed dolonex 20 mg twice for 3 days. I took one. Is it harmful for my breastfed 21 month old daughter. Iam also taking moxclav625
Brief Answer:
It is not safe for a breast fed baby
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
Dolonex contains Piroxicam which is secreted in breast milk and is not recommended for use in breast- feeding mothers. You could ask your doctor for some alternative although in the short duration of few days I do not expect any harm.
Moxclav 625 is safe. You need not worry.
Hope that helps.

Brief Answer:
No need to worry if you have already taken the medicine
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking back.
I do not think that you need to worry if you had already taken Dolonex. Actually its clinical safety has not been proven but it does not mean that it would necessarily cause any harm.
Amox is safe.
For your daughter's piercing, the earring can be manually removed but only after you have washed your hands properly.

Can junior horliks be given to 21 monnth old child? Can I have Mother's horlicks? Is it safe? Choline, DHA and other nutrients for child are not sufficient from natural foods it seems
Brief Answer:
Natural foods are better sources of nutrients.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking back.
Junior Horlicks can be given to your child and you can take Mother's Horlicks, no issues with that. But frankly speaking, these are simply not required. A wholesome diet is enough to cover the nutrient requirements. If you want DHAs why do you not take plenty of sea fish? Horlicks or nutritional supplements can no way parallel the natural principles that are rich in them. You can recompose your diet just by searching the internet and checking which nutrient is present in which food item.
Hope that helps.
