I'm really worried about my 2-year-old. He caught a cold a couple of days ago and then developed a severe dry cough that same night. Yesterday, his breathing seemed forced; he hardly ate anything all day and drank only a few sips of water. I nebulized him eight times, and today it seems like his breathing's a bit better. Im giving him Bro Zedex syrup and Alex Junior. The last time he had something like this, the doctor had to give him an aminophylline injection followed by nebulization. Do you think just using the nebulization will help this time, and will his condition improve? I'm really worried.

I'm really worried because while my daughter sleeps, she suddenly starts coughing, and it keeps going for a bit. Its concerning since sometimes yellow liquid with bits of food comes out while she's asleep. What could this be? Should I be doing something about it?

That could be GERD vist Gastroenterologist for evaluation and appropriate management.

I'm a bit concerned because my baby is 13 months old and I noticed there's no scar or mark from the BCG vaccine she got when she was 6 days old. The doctor is suggesting to give another BCG vaccine. Does this sound safe to you?

no problem

I've been experiencing a lot of discomfort due to worms in my anus, especially at night, and it's been going on for over 10 days now. Are there any home remedies that could help with this?

You may be experiencing symptoms of pinworm infection. For this condition, you can try using over-the-counter medication like Albendazole. The usual dosage for Albendazole in adults is a single dose of 400mg. It is important to follow the instructions on the package insert or as directed by your healthcare provider. Additionally, maintaining good hygiene practices such as washing hands regularly, keeping nails short, and washing bedding and clothing frequently can help prevent the spread of the infection.
