I'm really concerned about my little one who's almost 1 and a half years old. He's still breastfeeding, but my wife isn't doing well health-wise. She's struggling with depression and is really weak, so she can't keep breastfeeding. We've tried giving our kid food and fruits, but he still cries a lot for his mother's milk and doesn't like drinking regular milk. Could you please give us advice on how to wean him off breastfeeding?

I'm a bit worried about my 7-year-old son. I used to give him PEDIASURE, but he started putting on weight and lost his appetite after around three years, so I stopped. I've heard people say that all those drinks are similar, and he was having COMPLAN too, but I've stopped that as well. I'm just trying to figure out what's true and whether I should be adding anything to his milk or just keep it plain. If I should add something, what would be best for him?

I'm dealing with mouth, hand, and feet disease right now. My hands are slowly getting better, but the pain in my mouth is getting worse. I've developed a canker sore that's really painful. I can't eat anything because of it. What medication can I take to help relieve the pain and heal my mouth?

For pain relief and managing mouth sores medications like chlorhexidine mouthwash, and pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, while also considering antiviral medications if the cause is viral. so consult md medicine
