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 a breastfeeding mom with a 2-month-old baby, and I had a really bad migraine last night. I took Disprin and stopped breastfeeding for about 23 hours after that. I even expressed and discarded the milk I produced after taking the medication because I heard aspirin isn't recommended during breastfeeding. Is it safe for me to start breastfeeding again now?

yes

My little one is just 6 months old and has been dealing with a cough and some chest congestion. I'm wondering if it's safe to give him Ambrodil S syrup? I'm really concerned about making sure I'm doing the right thing for him, and I'd love some guidance.
