I now have all the detailed content needed. Here is the complete IMNCI guide for your GPSC interview:

IMNCI - COMPLETE GUIDE FOR GPSC MEDICAL OFFICER INTERVIEW

(Diarrhoea + Pneumonia - All Classifications + All Management Steps)


PART A: OVERVIEW OF IMNCI

Full Form: Integrated Management of Neonatal and Childhood Illness Developed by: WHO + UNICEF (1990s); India adopted as C-IMNCI (Community) + F-IMNCI (Facility) India Launch: C-IMNCI 2003; F-IMNCI 2009; under NHM Target Age: 0 days to 5 years (some elements up to 10 years per WHO 2024 guideline)

IMNCI Core Principle: "Assess - Classify - Treat - Counsel - Follow Up"

The IMNCI approach uses a colour-coded triage classification:
ColourSeverityAction
🔴 PINKVery severe / CriticalPre-referral treatment + URGENT REFERRAL to hospital
🟡 YELLOWModerate / Specific treatment neededTreat at facility + Follow up
🟢 GREENMild / Home managementCounsel mother + Home care + Follow up

General Danger Signs (Check FIRST in ALL children)

Check these before assessing specific illnesses:
  1. Not able to drink or breastfeed
  2. Vomits everything
  3. Convulsions (present now or in this illness)
  4. Abnormally lethargic or unconscious
Any general danger sign = PINK = Refer URGENTLY after pre-referral treatment
Additional danger signs:
  • Stridor in calm child
  • Severe malnutrition
  • Severe chest indrawing

PART B: IMNCI FOR PNEUMONIA (ARI - Acute Respiratory Illness)

Step 1: ASK

"Does the child have cough or difficult breathing?"
  • If YES → ask: For how long?

Step 2: LOOK / LISTEN / FEEL

The child MUST be calm when counting respiratory rate.

A. Count Respiratory Rate (for 1 full minute)

Fast Breathing Cut-offs:
Age GroupFast Breathing =
0 - <2 months (young infant)≥ 60 breaths/minute
2 months - <12 months≥ 50 breaths/minute
12 months - <5 years≥ 40 breaths/minute

B. Look for Chest Indrawing

  • Lower chest wall draws IN when child breathes in
  • This is a sign of severe pneumonia in children 2 months - 5 years
  • (Note: Mild chest indrawing is NORMAL in young infants <2 months as chest wall is soft)

C. Look and Listen for:

  • Stridor (harsh sound on inspiration) when child is calm
  • Wheezing (expiratory wheeze)
  • Nasal flaring
  • Grunting
  • Cyanosis

Bronchodilator Trial (if wheezing present)

If wheezing with fast breathing or chest indrawing → Give rapid-acting inhaled bronchodilator (salbutamol) up to 3 times, 15-20 minutes apart → THEN re-count respiratory rate and re-assess chest indrawing → THEN classify.

Step 3: CLASSIFY PNEUMONIA

For Children 2 months to 5 years:


CLASS 1: 🔴 SEVERE PNEUMONIA OR VERY SEVERE DISEASE

Signs (ANY ONE):
  • Any general danger sign (not able to drink, vomits everything, convulsions, lethargic/unconscious)
  • Stridor in a calm child
  • Chest indrawing (lower chest wall indrawing)
  • Severe malnutrition
Treatment (Pre-referral + Referral):
StepAction
1Give FIRST DOSE of appropriate antibiotic before referral
2Treat fever if present (Paracetamol)
3Treat wheezing if present (bronchodilator)
4If cerebral malaria possible → give antimalarial
5REFER URGENTLY to hospital
6If referral NOT feasible → Treat with antibiotic + monitor closely
Hospital Treatment (Inpatient - Severe Pneumonia 2 months - 5 years):
AntibioticDoseRouteFrequency
Inj. Benzyl Penicillin50,000 IU/kg/doseIM/IV6 hourly
OR Inj. Ampicillin50 mg/kg/doseIM/IV6-8 hourly
OR Inj. Chloramphenicol25 mg/kg/doseIM/IV8 hourly
  • Minimum 5 days antibiotic therapy
  • Continue for at least 3 days after child gets well
  • Reassess every 24-48 hours
If NO improvement at 48 hours: Switch to Cloxacillin + Gentamicin (total 10 days) If condition worsens: Switch immediately to IM Cloxacillin + Gentamicin

CLASS 2: 🟡 PNEUMONIA (Not Severe)

Signs (BOTH must be present):
  • No chest indrawing
  • Fast breathing (≥50/min if 2-12 months; ≥40/min if 12 months - 5 years)
Treatment (Outpatient - Home):
StepAction
1Counsel mother for home care
2Give oral Amoxicillin for 5 days (preferred; replaces old cotrimoxazole)
3Treat fever if present - Paracetamol
4Treat wheezing if present - inhaled bronchodilator for 5 days
5If HIV-exposed/infected child with chest indrawing → give first dose amoxicillin + REFER
6Soothe throat with safe home remedy (warm fluids, honey if >1 year) - NO cough syrups
7Advise mother: Return in 2 days for reassessment, or earlier if child gets worse
Amoxicillin Dosing for Pneumonia:
Age/WeightAmoxicillin dose
2-12 months (4-10 kg)250 mg tablet / 5 ml syrup (125 mg/5 ml) twice daily
1-5 years (10-19 kg)500 mg tablet / 10 ml syrup twice daily
Duration: 5 days
Cotrimoxazole (older guidelines - still used where amoxicillin unavailable):
Age/WeightPaediatric tablet (Sulphamethoxazole 100 mg + Trimethoprim 20 mg)
<2 months (3-5 kg)1 tablet twice daily
2-12 months (6-9 kg)2 tablets twice daily
1-5 years (10-19 kg)3 tablets twice daily
Duration: 5 days (or 3 more days if improving at 48-hour review)

CLASS 3: 🟢 NO PNEUMONIA: COUGH OR COLD

Signs:
  • No chest indrawing
  • No fast breathing
Treatment (Home):
StepAction
1NO antibiotics (most are viral - antibiotics NOT needed)
2Treat fever if present
3Treat wheezing if present
4Assess and treat ear problem or sore throat if present
5Soothe throat with safe home remedy
6Advise mother: If coughing >30 days → refer for assessment (rule out TB, asthma)
7Counsel on home care: fluids, feeding, return signs

🔄 REASSESSMENT OF PNEUMONIA AT 2 DAYS

Every child treated with antibiotic for pneumonia MUST be reassessed at 2 days:
Reassessment FindingAction
WORSE (can't drink, chest indrawing, other danger signs)Refer URGENTLY to hospital
SAME (no improvement, no worsening)Change antibiotic OR Refer
IMPROVING (breathing slower, less fever, eating better)Finish 5 days of antibiotic

For Young Infants (0 to <2 months) - Pneumonia

Cut-off for fast breathing:60 breaths/minute
ANY pneumonia in young infant = SEVERE → Refer URGENTLY to hospital
  • Mild chest indrawing is normal in young infants (soft chest wall) - not a sign of severity in this age group
  • Do NOT use cotrimoxazole routinely in children <2 months
  • Exception: If referral delayed → may initiate cotrimoxazole
Hospital Treatment (Young infant - Pneumonia):
AntibioticDoseAge <7 daysAge 7 days - 2 months
Inj. Benzyl Penicillin OR50,000 IU/kg/dose12 hourly6 hourly
Inj. Ampicillin AND50 mg/kg/dose12 hourly8 hourly
Inj. Gentamicin2.5 mg/kg/dose12 hourly8 hourly
  • Chloramphenicol NOT recommended as first line in young infants
  • Keep warm; promote breastfeeding; treat associated conditions

PART C: IMNCI FOR DIARRHOEA

Step 1: ASK

"Does the child have diarrhoea?"
  • If YES → ask:
    1. For how long?
    2. Is there blood in the stool?
Diarrhoea = 3 or more loose/watery stools per day (more than normal for the individual)

Step 2: LOOK, FEEL, ASSESS

Assess for DEHYDRATION (4 signs - "LESS" mnemonic):

Sign to CheckHow to Check
L - Lethargic/UnconsciousIs child lethargic or unconscious?
E - EyesLook for sunken eyes
S - Skin PinchPinch skin of abdomen - how fast does it go back?
S - DrinkingOffer fluid - is child not able to drink/drinking poorly? OR drinking eagerly/thirsty?

Step 3: CLASSIFY DIARRHOEA

Diarrhoea has THREE parallel classification tracks:

Track 1: DEHYDRATION STATUS

Track 2: DURATION (≥14 days = Persistent Diarrhoea)

Track 3: BLOOD IN STOOL (= Dysentery)


TRACK 1: DEHYDRATION CLASSIFICATION


🔴 SEVERE DEHYDRATION

Signs: TWO or more of:
  1. Lethargic or unconscious
  2. Sunken eyes
  3. Not able to drink or drinking poorly
  4. Skin pinch goes back VERY SLOWLY (>2 seconds)
Treatment - PLAN C:
StepAction
1If no other severe classification: Give IV fluids - PLAN C
2If another severe classification present: Refer URGENTLY to hospital with mother giving frequent sips of ORS on the way + advise to continue breastfeeding
3If child ≥2 years AND cholera in area → give antibiotic for cholera
4Give Zinc supplements
PLAN C - IV Rehydration (Ringer's Lactate or Normal Saline):
AgeAmountGive over
<12 months30 ml/kgFirst 1 hour (then 70 ml/kg over 5 hours)
≥12 months30 ml/kgFirst 30 min (then 70 ml/kg over 2.5 hours)
After IV: Reassess every 1-2 hours
  • If improving → complete IV course
  • If can drink → switch to ORS
  • After 3-4 hours → reassess dehydration and reclassify

🟡 SOME DEHYDRATION

Signs: TWO or more of:
  1. Restless, irritable
  2. Sunken eyes
  3. Drinks eagerly, thirsty
  4. Skin pinch goes back SLOWLY (1-2 seconds)
Treatment - PLAN B:
StepAction
1Give ORS in the clinic over 4 hours (Plan B)
2Give Zinc supplements
3Give food
4If child also has severe classification → Refer with ORS sips on the way
5Advise mother when to return immediately
6Follow up in 5 days if not improving
PLAN B - ORS Volumes for 4-Hour Rehydration:
AgeWeightORS in first 4 hours
<4 months<5 kg200-400 ml
4-11 months5-7.9 kg400-600 ml
1-2 years8-10.9 kg600-800 ml
2-4 years11-15.9 kg800-1200 ml
5-14 years16-29.9 kg1200-2200 ml
ORS Administration Tips:
  • Children <2 years: Give 1 teaspoon every 1-2 minutes
  • Older children: Offer frequent sips from cup
  • If child vomits: Wait 10 minutes, then restart slowly (1 spoon every 2-3 minutes)
  • After each loose stool: Children <2 years = 50-100 ml extra; 2-10 years = 100-200 ml extra
After 4 hours → REASSESS dehydration → reclassify:
  • No dehydration → switch to PLAN A
  • Some dehydration → repeat PLAN B for another 4 hours
  • Severe dehydration → start PLAN C / Refer

🟢 NO DEHYDRATION

Signs: Not enough signs to classify as some or severe dehydration
Treatment - PLAN A:
StepAction
1Give extra fluids at home after every loose stool (ORS or home fluids)
2Give Zinc supplements (start immediately, continue for full 14 days)
3Continue feeding normally (do NOT restrict food)
4Advise mother when to return immediately
5Follow up in 5 days if not improving
PLAN A - Counselling Points for Mother:
  • Give more fluids than usual: ORS / rice water / dal water / coconut water / clean water
  • Give ORS after EVERY loose stool:
    • Children <2 years: 50-100 ml per stool
    • Children 2-10 years: 100-200 ml per stool
    • 10 years: As much as wanted
  • Continue breastfeeding
  • Continue normal feeding; do NOT withhold food

ZINC SUPPLEMENTATION (KEY FOR EXAM!)

Zinc is given to ALL children with diarrhoea - regardless of dehydration status
AgeDoseDuration
<6 months10 mg (half tablet or half sachet)14 days
≥6 months20 mg (1 tablet or 1 sachet)14 days
Why Zinc?
  • Reduces duration of diarrhoea by 25%
  • Reduces severity by 30%
  • Reduces chance of recurrence over next 2-3 months
  • Give for FULL 14 days even if diarrhoea stops earlier

TRACK 2: PERSISTENT DIARRHOEA (Diarrhoea ≥14 days)

All children with diarrhoea are also assessed: "Has diarrhoea been present for 14 days or more?"
ClassificationSignAction
🔴 SEVERE PERSISTENT DIARRHOEADehydration presentTreat dehydration before referral; then Refer to hospital
🟡 PERSISTENT DIARRHOEANo dehydrationAdvise mother on special feeding; Give multivitamins + minerals (including Zinc) for 14 days; Follow up in 5 days
Feeding Advice for Persistent Diarrhoea:
  • Reduce lactose in diet (reduce animal milk); substitute with yogurt (better tolerated)
  • Cereal-based diet: rice, banana, bread, potato
  • Continue breastfeeding
  • Frequent small meals (6 times/day)
  • High-energy/high-protein food

TRACK 3: DYSENTERY (Blood in Stool)

ClassificationSignAction
🟡 DYSENTERYBlood in stoolGive Ciprofloxacin for 3 days (drug of choice for Shigella dysentery); Advise mother; Follow up in 2 days
Ciprofloxacin dosing for Dysentery:
AgeDose
<5 years15 mg/kg/dose, twice daily × 3 days
Note: If child has BOTH some dehydration AND blood in stool → treat dehydration FIRST, then give Ciprofloxacin.
Follow-up at 2 days for Dysentery:
FindingAction
ImprovingComplete 3-day course
Not improvingChange antibiotic + Refer
WorseRefer URGENTLY

PART F: VIVA QUESTIONS - IMNCI PNEUMONIA AND DIARRHOEA

Q1. What is the fast breathing cut-off for a 9-month-old child? A: ≥50 breaths per minute.
Q2. What are the 3 classifications of pneumonia in a child 2 months to 5 years? A: (1) Severe Pneumonia / Very Severe Disease (Pink - refer), (2) Pneumonia (Yellow - oral antibiotic), (3) No Pneumonia: Cough or Cold (Green - no antibiotic, home care).
Q3. What is the drug of choice for Pneumonia (not severe) in IMNCI? A: Oral Amoxicillin for 5 days (current WHO/IMNCI recommendation). Older guidelines used cotrimoxazole (still used in some settings where amoxicillin unavailable).
Q4. When do you NOT give antibiotics for cough? A: When there is NO fast breathing and NO chest indrawing - classified as "No Pneumonia: Cough or Cold" (Green). Most are viral - antibiotics are NOT recommended.
Q5. What is the fast breathing cut-off for a 1-month-old infant? A: ≥60 breaths per minute. ANY pneumonia in infants <2 months = Severe - Refer URGENTLY.
Q6. What are the 4 signs assessed for dehydration in IMNCI? A: (1) Lethargic/unconscious, (2) Sunken eyes, (3) Not able to drink/drinking poorly OR drinking eagerly/thirsty, (4) Skin pinch goes back very slowly/slowly.
Q7. What is the difference between Plan A, B, and C? A: Plan A = Home fluids (no dehydration); Plan B = ORS in clinic over 4 hours (some dehydration); Plan C = IV fluids or Refer (severe dehydration).
Q8. What is the Zinc dose for a 4-month-old child with diarrhoea? A: 10 mg daily for 14 days (half tablet/sachet - for infants <6 months). Children ≥6 months: 20 mg daily for 14 days.
Q9. How long do you give Zinc even after diarrhoea stops? A: Continue for the full 14 days regardless of when diarrhoea stops, to prevent recurrence.
Q10. What is the drug of choice for Dysentery in IMNCI? A: Ciprofloxacin (15 mg/kg/dose twice daily) for 3 days. Follow up at 2 days.
Q11. What is the reassessment schedule for pneumonia on antibiotic? A: Reassess at 2 days. If worse → Refer; If same → change antibiotic or refer; If improving → complete 5 days.
Q12. What is Persistent Diarrhoea? A: Diarrhoea lasting 14 days or more. Severe (with dehydration) → Refer. Non-severe (no dehydration) → Special feeding + Zinc + Multivitamins + Follow up at 5 days.
Q13. What is the skin pinch test and what are the findings? A: Pinch skin of abdomen and release. Goes back immediately = no dehydration. Goes back slowly (1-2 seconds) = some dehydration. Goes back very slowly (>2 seconds) = severe dehydration.
Q14. A 3-year-old has chest indrawing. What is the classification and action? A: Severe Pneumonia (PINK). Action: Give first dose of appropriate antibiotic (e.g., Amoxicillin/Penicillin) + Refer URGENTLY to hospital.
Q15. What is PLAN B and how much ORS is given to a 1-year-old (8 kg child)? A: Plan B = ORS given in clinic over 4 hours. A 1-year-old weighing 8 kg gets 600-800 ml of ORS over 4 hours (1-2 years age group).
