I'm a bit worried about my 7-year-old son. I used to give him PEDIASURE, but he started putting on weight and lost his appetite after around three years, so I stopped. I've heard people say that all those drinks are similar, and he was having COMPLAN too, but I've stopped that as well. I'm just trying to figure out what's true and whether I should be adding anything to his milk or just keep it plain. If I should add something, what would be best for him?

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?
