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.

Very low levels of montelukast appear in breastmilk. Montelukast is approved for use in children as young as 6 months of age and has been used in neonates in dosages far greater than the amounts in breastmilk. Amounts ingested by the infant would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants No special precautions are required.

Question

I'm a bit worried about using thrombophob gel on my 18-month-old son. Is it safe to apply it on a cut? And also, would it be okay to use after he's had a vaccine? How should I go about applying it if it's fine to use?

Question

My 3-year-old has had a fever, cough, and cold since last Saturday, and I've been giving him Crocin, Augmentin DDS, and Amrox Junior. But he still seems to have the same symptoms. I'm really worried and not sure what else to do. Can you suggest any changes or next steps?

Question

I'm really concerned about my 9-month-old baby. He's been vomiting since morning and hasn't eaten anything all day. He keeps crying, and it's breaking my heart. I'm not sure what could be wrong. Yesterday, we took him to the mall, and he tried a spoonful of halwa. This morning, he had some egg and roti with milk. Now, he's vomited at least 34 times; it's all watery. Today's Sunday, and all the local doctors are closed. Any idea what could be causing this or what I should do?
