I'm currently breastfeeding and have been prescribed Amoxyclav 625 for pharyngitis. I'm really worried about whether it's safe to use while nursing. Could it affect my baby? If it's not safe, what other antibiotics could I take instead?

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 really worried about my 5 and a half month old son. Every morning he starts coughing and his doctor recommended using asthalin in a nebulizer three times a day. Last month, we even had to admit him to the hospital because of breathing issues related to his cough, and they treated him with a nebulizer there too. Can you help me understand what's actually going on with my baby? And is asthalin the right choice for him?

It seems like your baby may be experiencing recurrent respiratory issues, possibly asthma or a similar condition that affects the airways, causing cough and breathing difficulty. Asthalin in a nebulizer can help relax the muscles in the airways, easing his breathing, but it's important to monitor his response and follow up regularly with your doctor for any adjustments in treatment.
