I'm really struggling with my son when it comes to studying. Every time I ask him to focus on his studies, he starts crying and becomes extremely impatient. It seems like he's not at all interested, and he lacks the patience to learn anything new. Because of this, he isn't able to do things properly and often won't even attempt them. How can I help him become more interested and patient with learning?

I'm really concerned about my 4-year-old daughter's cough. She's been having it repeatedly for the past 45 months. Sometimes it's dry and other times it's wet. It often happens in the middle of the night or early morning. We tried homeopathy, which helped a little for a while, but it didn't fix it permanently. Is there a chance for a permanent cure, or is it something not to worry too much about?

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?

maintain good hygiene, maintain healthy environment

I'm really worried about my 9-year-old daughter. She fell down the stairs and hurt her back. It's swollen about 3 cm above the base of her spine, and she's complaining about pain in her knees, even though she didn't hit them. She also feels pain in her back when she lifts small things like her iPad. We've been using an ice pack on the swollen area, and she's lying on her belly right now. She can still walk and sit, but her back is very painful. The swelling is starting to go down a bit. I'm worried and not sure what to do next or what to watch out for. Could this lead to something serious? What should I be looking out for?

Visit your nearest hospital immediately and get xray spine done to look for any fracture and follow your doctors advice
