@milken, why he doesn't take a walk in customers that seems to be a bit funny. I have heard Doctor Plaza Kenyatta, they have good pediatrician, any one with one in mind?

Pneumonia is curable.

Probably many are not aware but augmentin has been banned in many countries because it contains di-isodecyl phthalate which is used in the manufacture of plastics.

Its not bad to prescribe antibiotics, however many docs and majority are para graduates use that as an easy avenue to reduce the severity of sickness.



Thanks for the info. Didn't know. And I'm pretty sure I've used it in the past couple of months.


Zinnat was banned too. it is your responsibility as a parent to protect your child from doctors who dont do their research on the medicines to prescribe.... granted you cant know all of them but if you get info like in wazua or through the emails that go round with warnings, then you should use it.

You may blame the doctor for giving the kid weak antibiotics but (though stand to be collected), it is better than your kid getting used to the very strong antibiotics for small ailments... may be in your case, their only mistake is that they did not follow up on the child's response to the weak antibiotics and prescribe the stronger ones.... but for the initial instance, it is best the child is put on weak antibiotics so that the body is also able to help in fighting the diseases. otherwise, the body soldiers become lazy and rely on a dose of antibiotics everytime an attack occurs.

Actually, the reason i moved from the first pediatrician was because every time i showed up with wendzlet suffering from a cough, the doc would prescribe strong antibiotics.... and i knew it was not healthy to literally 'feed' the child with such strong medicines.

My 2 year daughter was also getting colds persistently and i hated having to give her drugs particularly antibiotics every so often. Try the preventive route and give her vitamins every day. She's on seven seas cod liver oil and does not fall sick as often as she used to

This one is not in my mind but in his office at the plaza. He is called Prof. Wafula. The best Pediatrician alive today in Kenya but friendly on the pocket, 1500/=

@Wendz and others. To say that augumentin is banned is really stretching facts. A batch of augumentin was recalled in Taiwan over concerns that it contained some chemical used in plastics. Surely this does not mean that all augumentin is banned worldwide. It's like saying that Toyota cars are banned because there has been some recalls of some faulty cars. My friend Mr. Google cannot find the Zinnat ban so please someone share a link.

That said, @Wendz is right about starting off with weaker antibiotics so that the body does not form resistance.

I'm shocked.Last month my son had a fever.I rushed him to Getrudes and after Lab test they confirmed he had a throat Infection. They prescribed Zinnat to him.

Kindly who knows a good pediatrician who can i can consult.


I normally take mine to Dr EC Kung'u @ Nbi Hospital. If interested, I can introduce you.
(You have to be introduced; he does not take walk in customers)


Dr. Kung'u is not taking on new patients... unfortunately.
He is solid i tell you (and from experience).
