I'm really worried about my 1-year-9-month-old who's been showing signs of pneumonia. The doctor already gave her a dose of nebulization and some antibiotics, but she's still in pain and having trouble breathing. Is it okay if I give her a second dose of nebulization after four hours?

I'm really worried because Sidrah has been dealing with a cold and cough for the past three days. It's more of a wet cough. I've been giving her Relent plus for two days and started Asthakind DX yesterday. Could you give me some advice on how to help her get better?

She seems to be suffering from common cold which is a common type of nose and throat virus infection. Usually it will resolve on its own within few days. You can continue giving medications. No specific treatment is really needed. Self medications are better avoided

I'm wondering if giving formula milk to my 2-month-old baby could have any side effects. I actually have enough breast milk, but my little one's weight hasn't increased much. Our doctor mentioned using MMS milk powder. Should I be concerned about using the formula, or is it generally safe for my baby at this age?

MMS formula feed is considered safe and nutritious for infants. However, if breast milk is available in sufficient quantity, it would be more advisable to give priority to breast milk over formula feed, due to its immunity boosting and psychologically nurturing effects.
