I'm breastfeeding my 8-month-old and have a really runny nose. Do you think it's safe to take Allegra M and Pulmoclear while nursing? If not, can you suggest any allergy medicine that's okay to take while breastfeeding?

Can I give suji halwa or kheer to my 8-month-old boy if he's been having loose stools for a week? Is suji good for him right now?

For an 8-month-old baby experiencing loose stools, it is important to focus on easily digestible foods. Suji (semolina) can be a good option as it is gentle on the stomach and can help firm up the stools. You can prepare suji halwa with minimal sugar and ghee for your baby. Additionally, you can also give your baby rice-based foods like rice water or rice cereal. Make sure to continue breastfeeding or formula feeding to prevent dehydration. If the loose stools persist or worsen, please consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because my 5-year-old has been having loose motions since yesterday. We have Econorm sachets at home, but I'm not sure about the right dosage for her. Could you advise me on how much I should give her?

You can give one sachet two times a day
