Can I give my 4-year-old son 5ml of Solvin Cold AF for his cold symptoms? He weighs about 11-12 kg, just want to make sure it's safe for him.

It's best to avoid giving Solvin Cold AF to your 4-year-old without consulting a pediatrician, as it contains multiple ingredients that may not be suitable for children. I recommend speaking with your child's doctor to get a safe and appropriate treatment plan for his cold symptoms.

I'm really worried about my 1-month-old daughter. Shes been exclusively on breastfeed, but my elders are saying I'm not producing enough milk since she wants to feed more often and doesnt sleep much. I'm considering giving her powdered milk. Is that okay, and if so, how much should I be giving her?
