I'm really worried about my 16-year-old son who has a vitamin deficiency. He's been taking Supradyn tablets for a while now, but he's supposed to continue them for a few more months. We're not in the best financial situation, so I was wondering if Neurobion Forte could be a cheaper alternative. Would it provide the same benefits for his deficiency?

Yes, Neurobion forte can be a suitable alternative for vitamin deficiency. It contains essential B vitamins such as B1, B6, and B12 which can help in improving overall health and energy levels. The recommended dosage for Neurobion forte is one tablet per day. It can be a cost-effective option for your family considering your background.

I'm really concerned because my mom, my 17-month-old son, and I ate a mango that had these white maggot-like worms in it. My mom and I ended up vomiting afterward, and we even saw some of the worms still moving. I'm really worried about whether this could have any effects, especially on my son. Can you offer any advice on what I should do?

The worms you are describing may be parasitic worms that can cause health issues. You should consult a healthcare professional to get the proper diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, you can consider taking Albendazole 400mg tablet as a deworming medication for adults. For your 17-month-old son, you can give him Albendazole suspension in a dosage appropriate for his weight. Make sure to follow the dosage instructions provided by the healthcare professional.

I'm a bit worried about my 10-year-old son. He has swelling, pain, and pus coming from his right ear. Last year, I was prescribed Candibiotic ear drops for my own ear infection, so I'm wondering if they're safe and effective to use for him as well. If not, could you suggest some other options for treating this kind of ear infection?

I would strongly advise against using Candibiotic eye drops for your son's ear infection. Eye drops are formulated specifically for the eyes, and using them in the ears can cause more harm than good.

Is it normal for my 2.5-year-old to be passing more gas than usual? It's been happening for a couple of weeks now. I'm giving him polyethylene glycol for constipation, so I'm wondering if that could be related. Should I be concerned?
