Question

I'm really worried about my five-month-old son. He's been dealing with asthma since he was two months old, and our doctor has him on Budecort 100 inhaler and Salbair transhaler, two times a day. I'm concerned, thoughare these meds safe to use every single day? And how long are we supposed to keep this up?

Question

My little one is 15 months old and she seems to catch colds really easily. At first, the doctor suggested using a steamer for hot steam, but I'm worried about her getting burned.
