Universal nutrition principles (all ages, including pediatrics)

  1. Maintain hydration and electrolyte balance.
  2. Continue age-appropriate feeding (do not over-restrict).
  3. Prioritize protein during recovery (eggs, pulses, dairy, lean meat as tolerated).
  4. Add micronutrients where deficient (iron, folate, zinc, vitamin D).
  5. In pediatrics: frequent small feeds; monitor weight gain and appetite recovery.

Practical diagnostic flow (one-line universal template)

Syndrome recognition → severity triage (stable/unstable) → focused labs/imaging → start empiric supportive ± specific therapy → confirm etiology → de-escalate/target treatment → follow-up for complications.

If you want, I can next convert this into a print-ready structured table (single-sheet exam format) or a Word/PDF file with headings and page numbers.

Universal pediatric OPD prescription principles

  1. Always write weight-based dosing (mg/kg)
  2. Mention duration clearly
  3. Add red-flag return advice
  4. Avoid unnecessary antibiotics/steroids
  5. Document allergy history and immunization status
