Well said, doc, but a pharmacist, by training, can respond to mild ailments and this is agreed upon worldwide. However, it is not in the jurisdiction to go beyond mild ailments. So going to a pharmacy and getting drug recommended isn't out of place. Depends on what you are getting and what is being treated. Cheers
Onegai:
Zaynie, thank you. This is why I don't us like stating names of meds here because people will go the pharmacy and buy it without checking to see first if they are treating the illness or the symptoms of the illness. You may end up treating just the symptoms of that cough or cold but have no idea what caused it in the first place and it will keep coming back. Doctors are not infallible but at least it is a start. God gave Mankind brains and intelligence to develop Modern Medicine. A pharmacist is not a doctor even though they went to med school. Most pharmacists I know actually don't like prescribing medicine sef.

I know. But the reality is that in Nigeria, a lot of people depend on pharmacists for what a doctor should do. You will hear people meeting pharmacists for even STDs or they won't tell them their medical history and pharmacist will prescribe not knowing their full medical history. A pharmacist prescribed antibiotics for swollen eyes due to teething, and apparently that's an okay call. Malaria is not a mild ailment, in this Nigeria any doctor that tells you malaria in a child isn't mild ailment hates you (I'm speaking from a place of having one of my family who used to one of the leading doctors on malaria research in children in West Africa and they made it clear to me not to joke with medicines or medical help. I am lucky to have access to them when many don't because of our healthcare system. And when I told them about this, they refused to join because they said they hoped we were not playing doctor here). My family members have cried over losing young patients to malaria (the patients were not related to them but theý were pained by the decisions the parents took and the child died).

I think since we are all adults on this thread, it is upto everyone to make a decision on what is best for their child. Me, I'm moving on. There are plenty sabi mamas here. There was also a group on Facebook with doctors which some mums joined, perhaps anyone interested can join them. Take care, ladies smiley

Continue using it, afterall it's just one small tin, when it finishes, you can buy the right one.
Hope he's still breastfeeding.?
