I'm really worried about my 2.5-year-old son. He's been dealing with a cold and cough for a few days, and the pediatrician said it might be WALRI. We started him on clarithromycin and nebulizer treatments, and we're on day three now. When I check his SPO2 while he's asleep, I'm seeing it fluctuate between 89 and 92, and sometimes it jumps to 95 or 96. Is this normal? Should I be concerned about these fluctuations? What should I do next?

I'm on the 11th day with chicken pox and all my blisters seemed to have scabbed over, but now I've noticed two new ones popping up. Should I be worried about this? Is it normal for new blisters to appear at this point?

It is not uncommon for new blisters to appear even after the initial ones have scabbed over. This does not necessarily mean that the chicken pox is returning. However, it is important to continue practicing good hygiene to prevent any potential complications.You should continue to take anti-virals and practice self isolation to prevent further spread of the virus.
