Question

I'm wondering if it's okay to give my 5-year-old son Maxtra syrup. How much should I give him, and are there any side effects I should be aware of? Also, is Sinarest syrup a better option? I'm really curious about which one is safer and more effective for my child.

-Yes, you can give **Maxtra syrup** to your 5-year-old for cold symptoms, but the dosage depends on weight, usually 2.5-5ml twice daily. It might cause mild drowsiness or an upset stomach. **Sinarest syrup** is also effective, but consult your pediatricia

Question

I'm really worried because for the past couple of days, my son's eyes have been getting watery, and he has to rub them to feel a bit better. It's strange because we don't actually see any water coming out, and luckily, his eyes aren't hurting. What could be causing this?

Question

I'm worried because my 14-month-old daughter has had a cold and cough for the last month, and her doctor told us to use Duolin respules in a nebulizer for her. I've heard that this is usually for asthma and other conditions, so I'm not sure if it's the right treatment. Can you give me some advice on this?
