Can I Give R-cinex To A Child For Fever And Cold?
Sir, My Son was suffered by fever and cold for last 15 days, when I consult an paedeatrician for my son she gave a medicine asks us to come back after a week. When we visit her after a week, there is slight fever. She asks to take X-ray and blood test. After viewing blood report and x-ray, she prescribed by son to take R-cinex Kid and Ruxmont-LC along with Liv-52 Syrup. Could you tell me doctor what has been happened to my son...

Hi...R-Cinex is an anti tuberculosis medicine. If I were your pediatrician I wouldn't give it or prescribe it without proper indication and thorough investigation. The indications being -
1. Contact with a TB case.
2. Mantoux test being positive when performed with 2TU.
3. Chronic fever and severe weight loss.
If above are not there I would suggest achieving a bacteriological diagnosis by doing a gastric juice for AFB and Xpert MTB.
This medicine cannot be used for cough and cold.
Regards- Dr. Sumanth
