Question

My little girl is 7 months and a few days old, and she weighs 8.8 kg. She's been having this dry cough, especially noticeable when she sleeps, but otherwise, she's doing great. When she was around 5 months, the doctor recommended maxtra syrup for her cough. Is it okay for me to give her the maxtra syrup now, and if so, what's the appropriate dose for her weight?

Question

I'm really worried about my 6-year-old. He's been having these persistent hiccups for the past three days now. We took him to our regular doctor who didn't find anything wrong, but they just won't stop. He's still really energetic, playing, and eating just fine, but I'm starting to get concerned. Any idea what might be causing this or what we should do next?
