I'm really concerned about my 6-year-old who's been dealing with an allergic cough for the past 4 years. Sometimes it gets really frequent, like every 20 to 30 days, and it seems to get worse at night, between midnight and 4 AM. There have been instances of vomiting, and our doctor mentioned something about bilateral wheeze and said it was moderate. They suggested we nebulize both in the morning and evening. Does this sound like a typical treatment plan for these symptoms? Are there any other options we should consider?

View allI'm feeling a bit concerned about my 4 and a half-year-old's fever. It's hovering around 100.5 degrees. Is this something I should be worried about and consider visiting a doctor for? Also, what would be the right dosage of Calpol 250 mg to give?
For a child of 4 and a half years old with a fever of around 100.5F, it is advisable to monitor the fever closely and ensure they stay hydrated. You can give Calpol (Paracetamol) in a dosage of 250 mg. The recommended dosage for children aged 4-6 years is 5 ml (250 mg) every 4-6 hours as needed, with no more than 4 doses in 24 hours. Make sure to use a proper measuring device to administer the medication accurately. If the fever persists or if your child develops any other concerning symptoms, then it would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional.

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

My daughter has had a fever for the last five days, and we're really worried. We visited Rainbow, but it didn't seem to help much. Can you give some advice on what we should do next? Shes dealing with fever, a bad cold, and a cough. Were giving her medicine and doing sponge baths, which seem to help a bit, but at night her temperature still shoots up to 102. What else can we do?
