I'm really worried about my 14-month-old daughter; she's not walking yet, just crawling, and her weight seems quite low at 7.2 kg. She was 2.8 kg at birth. I'm not breastfeeding anymore and I've been giving her cow's milk along with soft food three times a day. She eats well, but she's having stools 2 to 3 times daily. The doctor recommended Bevcon syrup for a month, but I'm not sure if that's enough. Could you suggest what else I should consider or if there's another syrup that might help?

Congratulations on your recent marriage!
A 26-27 day menstrual cycle is considered normal. Typical menstrual cycle length: 21-35 days.
However, your recent weight gain (8kg in 3 months) may affect hormone levels and fertility. Consider:
- Healthy eating habits
- Regular exercise
- Consult your gynecologist for personalized advice
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle will benefit your overall well-being and reproductive health.

My son is 4 years old and he's been having this cough with mucus for a while. Every time he coughs, I can feel and hear the mucus in his lungs, but it just won't come out. It's really worrying me. Our doctor suggested giving him Montair LC Kid syrup for four days, and mentioned that if things don't get better, we'd have to try nebulization. When I looked up Montair LC, it seemed to be more for allergies or asthma. Is it really safe to give him this syrup, and will it actually help with the mucus in his chest?
Yes ,continue same treatment.
