Common Pediatric Concerns and Compounded Solutions
Diaper Rash Relief
It’s heartbreaking to see your little one in pain due to a stubborn diaper rash. Once the skin becomes red and inflamed, it requires special ingredients to create a protective barrier and neutralize the irritants causing discomfort.
How We Help:- We compound a prescription-strength diaper rash cream using cholestyramine, which binds to bile salts and reduces irritation.
- When mixed with a barrier cream, this formula helps soothe the skin and promotes healing.
- Your doctor will likely recommend applying the cream after each diaper change—many parents notice improvement after just one or two applications.
Tummy Troubles and Acid Reflux
Just like adults, babies and young children can experience acid reflux and digestive discomfort. Symptoms may include excessive spitting up, fussiness after feedings, or difficulty sleeping due to reflux.
Treatment Options:- Over-the-counter probiotics may help balance gut flora and improve digestion.
- If additional relief is needed, your pediatrician may prescribe a compounded acid-reducing medication, flavored and dosed specifically for your child’s needs.
Breastfeeding Discomfort
Breastfeeding is a rewarding experience, but it can be painful if you develop sore or cracked nipples. This discomfort can make feeding difficult and stressful for both mom and baby.
All-Purpose Nipple Ointment (APNO):- This compounded cream contains a blend of ingredients to prevent bacterial or fungal infections while creating a soothing barrier.
- Typically applied after each feeding, APNO does not need to be wiped off before nursing again, ensuring continuous relief and protection.
