I'm a bit worried about using thrombophob gel on my 18-month-old son. Is it safe to apply it on a cut? And also, would it be okay to use after he's had a vaccine? How should I go about applying it if it's fine to use?

I'm wondering if my 12-year-old can take Becadexamin. Are there any side effects I should be worried about? And if it's safe, what's the recommended dose for kids that age?

Becadexamin, a combination of betamethasone, dexamethasone, and chlorpheniramine, is generally not recommended for children under 18 years due to potential side effects like growth suppression, adrenal insufficiency, and behavioral changes; however, if prescribed by a doctor, the recommended dose for a 12-year-old child would depend on the specific condition being treated and the child's weight and medical history, so consult a pediatrician

I'm worried about my 4-month-old baby's feet and hands. They're often wet and sweaty, especially when he's sleeping or feeding. It's more than what seems normal to us. Is this something to be concerned about, or is it normal for babies this age?
