Question

I'm really worried about my two kids, one is almost 3 and the other is 1 and a half. They keep eating dust and small stones. I'm not sure why they're doing it or how to get them to stop. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I can do to break this habit?

Question

My kid is 4 years old and he's still not talking as much as I'd expect. I've been to the pediatrician, and he recommended two syrups called Forts B and Neotoserum. I've been giving them to my child for the past six months, and while I've noticed some improvement, he still isn't understanding everything and can't always reply properly. What else should I be doing?

Can I give my 4-year-old son 5ml of Solvin Cold AF for his cold symptoms? He weighs about 11-12 kg, just want to make sure it's safe for him.

Question
