Hey! So, I got Cepodem 100 syrup for my kid, but the pharmacist gave us Monocef O syrup instead. Are these two the same thing? Can I use either one for my son without any worries?

Question

My child has been having a cough for about three weeks now. We were advised to use monocef and phensedyl, but a week ago, she caught a cold and we switched to using moxikind. Now she's got both cold and cough again. Can we use moxikind for her cold while still giving her monocef and phensedyl for the cough? I'm a bit worried and just want to make sure we're doing the right thing.

Question

I'm worried about my 4-month-old baby's feet and hands. They're often wet and sweaty, especially when he's sleeping or feeding. It's more than what seems normal to us. Is this something to be concerned about, or is it normal for babies this age?
