Question

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?

Question

I'm really worried about my 9-month-old baby. He's been having a severe cold and fever, and there's a lot of congestion in his nose and chest. I've been using a baby rub on his chest a couple of times a day, but his nose is still really stuffed up. He's also taking a syrup for the fever. Can you recommend a nasal spray that would help clear up his cold?

Question

I'm really worried about my son. He's been dealing with a cough and chest congestion for almost a month now. We went to see the doctor, and after a throat swab test, they said it's staphylococcus aureus, a type of gram positive cocci. Hes also not eating well these days and has lost about 2 kgs. What kind of treatment should we be looking at for this?
