I'm wondering if it's okay to give Mucinex to my 5-year-old daughter. She's been dealing with a cough but hasn't been able to spit out the mucus. Is Mucinex safe and effective for kids, especially in helping clear up mucus when they're struggling with it?

Is it okay to take Montek LC for a whole month? My doctor told me to, but I'm breastfeeding and just want to make sure it's safe.

My 3-year-old son has been having loose, watery stools all day and it's making me worried. I've tried some home remedies, but they haven't worked much. He's also having stomach pain when he goes to the bathroom. Can you suggest any medicine for his diarrhea? He weighs about 10 kg.

Question

I'm really concerned because whenever my kid cries, I've noticed the tears are kind of sticky but there's no pus. Could this be related to diabetes? I know that might sound strange, but I am a diabetic myself, and I'm just wondering if that could have anything to do with it. It's been worrying me a bit. What do you think?
