I'm really worried about my 2-year-old son. He had surgery on his head a few weeks ago, and the doctor prescribed him 5ml of Advent twice a day. Now it's been about three weeks post-surgery, and today he's having really bad diarrhea and headaches. I've tried giving him oranges to help, but I'm not sure if that's enough. Can you give me some advice on what I should do next?

I'm giving my 18-month-old son Sinarest AF for his cold. I've been giving him 4ml three times a day for the past three days, and he seems to be getting better with it. I'm wondering if it's safe to continue using this medication in the future whenever he catches a cold. Is it okay to keep doing this?
Sinarest-AF is a combination medication that contains Paracetamol, Phenylephrine, and Chlorpheniramine. It is commonly used to relieve symptoms of cold and flu. In children, especially under 2 years old, the safety and efficacy of Phenylephrine and Chlorpheniramine are not well established. It is recommended to consult with a pediatrician before giving Sinarest-AF to children under 2 years old. For cold symptoms in children, it is important to focus on supportive care such as ensuring adequate rest, hydration, and a healthy diet. If your son has cold symptoms in the future, it is best to consult with a pediatrician for appropriate treatment options.

I'm really worried because the doctor mentioned that my daughter is allergic to climate change. We're currently giving her nebulization, but she's still coughing quite a bit. Is there anything else we can do to help her manage this?
It sounds like your doctor suspects an allergy triggered by changes in the weather, which can worsen symptoms like coughing. Nebulization should help with breathing, but if the coughing persists, it's important to follow up for additional treatments or medications to manage the allergy better.
