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?

View allI'm a bit anxious about my baby boy who's almost 4 months old. He's been having frequent small bowel movements, and I've been giving him Bifilac sachets to help. Is it okay to keep using Bifilac regularly? Is it safe for him?
While Bifilac is generally considered safe for infants, long-term or repeated use without medical supervision can lead to an imbalance of gut flora or dependency on probiotics; consult your pediatrician before continuing Bifilac sachets, as they may recommend alternative probiotics, dietary changes, or investigate underlying causes of frequent small motions

I'm really worried about my 6-month-old son. It's been raining a lot, and he ended up with a cold. We didn't clean his ears properly, and we also kept a cap on him, which I think might have led to some pus in his ears. The pediatrician gave us Clavam Bid drops, and we're giving him 2.5 ml three times a day for a week. But now, on the second day of taking it, he's experiencing loose motions after drinking breast milk, and we're not feeding him any solids. What should we do?
See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I'm really worried about my 8-month-old baby. His nose is extremely blocked, and using Nasivion 0.01% hasn't helped at all. He's 9 kilograms. Is it okay if I switch to 0.025% instead? Could you also advise me on using a nebulizer, or if it would be helpful for him?
no need to worry follow your doctors advice
