Question

My son has a swollen lymph node on one side of his neck. It doesn't hurt him and there aren't any other symptoms. It's been like this for almost 5 months. We've already seen three doctors who said there's nothing serious, but I'm worried because when I look it up online, I start feeling anxious. Could this be something serious?

My child threw up four times after having lunch. I think the food might've been a bit too spicy. I gave him 2.5 ml of Emset. He's sleeping now, but should I wake him up to give him some fluids?

Question

I'm really worried about my 7-year-old son's asthma attacks. Can I use Duolin respules in a nebulizer for his asthma attacks? I know that albuterol or salbutamol is commonly used for asthma, but since Duolin doesn't have these active ingredients, is it still okay to use?

Question

I'm wondering if it's safe for my 13-month-old to take gripe water while she's dealing with a throat infection. She's currently on medication for it, and I just want to make sure adding gripe water won't interfere or cause any issues. Could it possibly help soothe her symptoms, or should we steer clear since she's on other meds right now?
