I'm feeling a bit worried about giving Ambrolite-D to my 5 and a half-year-old son. He has a cold and cough. The thing is, I noticed it's also used for adults and says something about being for dry cough. Is it really safe for him? Just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing.

Ambrolite-D is a combination of an antihistamine and a decongestant, commonly used for treating cold and cough in adults. While it may be prescribed for infants in specific doses, it's important to follow your doctor's recommendation regarding the exact dosage for your 5.5-month-old son. Please avoid self-medication and consult your pediatrician if you have concerns about its safety for your child.

My daughter is 2 and a half years old and she's been dealing with a cold and cough since January. We saw a doctor who gave us some medicine, which helped with the cold but her cough hasn't gone away. She tends to cough especially at night while she's sleeping and again when she wakes up in the morning. We went back to the doctor and he mentioned that it might be early asthma symptoms and suggested we try LEVOLIN syrup for 5 days. He seemed optimistic and said asthma in kids can be cured with medicine. I'm really worried and curious about how common this is in young children and if there's anything specific I should watch for or do to help her. Does this seem like the right approach?

My 3-month-old has some yellowish liquid coming from one of their ears, and I'm really worried about what this might mean. Is this kind of issue something common among babies? Could it turn out to be something serious?
The yellowish liquid discharge from a 3-month-old baby's ear could be due to a middle ear infection (otitis media), earwax buildup, or a blocked Eustachian tube; this is a relatively common issue in infants, but it's essential to consult a pediatrician for a thorough evaluation and guidance on treatment, which may include antibiotics or ear drops, to prevent potential complications like hearing loss or ear drum damage.
