Can I use a nebulizer for my daughter while she's asleep? She's been taking off the mask when she's awake. The doctor suggested using duolin 1ml mixed with 1ml of NS liquid.

-It's generally not recommended to use a nebulizer while your daughter is asleep because it can be hard to ensure the mask stays in place and she gets the full dose. You can try gently waking her up for the treatment, or consult your doctor for alternativ

View allI'm really worried about my 4-month-old. After every feeding, they seem to have loose motion, and I've noticed it's a yellowish color. Plus, theres some coughing happening. Could this be something serious? What can I do to help my baby?
Your baby may have gastroenteritis, which is inflammation of the stomach and intestines. For loose motions, you can give your baby oral rehydration solution (ORS) to prevent dehydration. You can also give probiotics like Enterogermina to help restore the balance of good bacteria in the gut. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and management.

I'm in Bangalore and I'm having trouble finding Otostar drops, which I've been using to clean my 7-month-old baby's ears. One of the stores here suggested I use Otorex instead. Is it safe to use Otorex for my baby's ears? I'm a bit worried and would really appreciate your advice.

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?
That could be due to allergy,try to identify the allergen and avoid it, visit Pediatrician for evaluation and appropriate management and corrected dose and frequency
