I'm really concerned because my 7-month-old baby poops right after feeding. We're giving her a diet that includes cerelac and milk. Is it normal for her to poop so soon after eating, or is there something we should be worried about?

It is quite common for babies to have bowel movements after feeding, especially when they are consuming milk or cerelac. This is because the gastrocolic reflex is stimulated by the intake of food, leading to bowel movements. However, if your baby's stools are consistently watery, contain blood, or if your baby is showing signs of discomfort or distress, it is important to consult a pediatrician. In the meantime, you can try giving your baby Simethicone drops to help with any gas or discomfort. Remember to always consult with your pediatrician before giving any medication to your baby.

I'm really worried about my 4-month-old. After every feeding, they seem to have loose motion, and I've noticed it's a yellowish color. Plus, theres some coughing happening. Could this be something serious? What can I do to help my baby?

Your baby may have gastroenteritis, which is inflammation of the stomach and intestines. For loose motions, you can give your baby oral rehydration solution (ORS) to prevent dehydration. You can also give probiotics like Enterogermina to help restore the balance of good bacteria in the gut. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because the doctor mentioned that my daughter is allergic to climate change. We're currently giving her nebulization, but she's still coughing quite a bit. Is there anything else we can do to help her manage this?

It sounds like your doctor suspects an allergy triggered by changes in the weather, which can worsen symptoms like coughing. Nebulization should help with breathing, but if the coughing persists, it's important to follow up for additional treatments or medications to manage the allergy better.

I'm giving my 18-month-old son Sinarest AF for his cold. I've been giving him 4ml three times a day for the past three days, and he seems to be getting better with it. I'm wondering if it's safe to continue using this medication in the future whenever he catches a cold. Is it okay to keep doing this?

Sinarest-AF is a combination medication that contains Paracetamol, Phenylephrine, and Chlorpheniramine. It is commonly used to relieve symptoms of cold and flu. In children, especially under 2 years old, the safety and efficacy of Phenylephrine and Chlorpheniramine are not well established. It is recommended to consult with a pediatrician before giving Sinarest-AF to children under 2 years old. For cold symptoms in children, it is important to focus on supportive care such as ensuring adequate rest, hydration, and a healthy diet. If your son has cold symptoms in the future, it is best to consult with a pediatrician for appropriate treatment options.
