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?

View allMy daughter has a slight asthma problem and she gets a lot of coughing because of allergies. She's been told to use a nebuliser 4 times a day with 0.5ml asthalin and 0.5ml budecort mixed with 3ml NS. Also, she's on Monticope 2.5ml twice a day for 3 months. I'm wondering how long it'll take for her cough to go away with these medicines? I'm just really worried and looking for some guidance.

I accidentally swallowed a piece of chewing gum while sitting, but right now I feel completely normal. Should I be worried or need to see a doctor, or is it usually not a big deal?

I'm trying to understand my daughter's situation better. Her platelet count was 2.55 lakh on the 22nd of September. Today it dropped to 1.85 lakh, though her fever's reduced, and she's still on medication. Is her platelet count within normal range? Could you explain what this means for her health?
A normal platelet count ranges from 1.5 to 4.5 lakhs per microliter (L); your daughter's current platelet count of 1.85 lakhs is within the lower normal range, which is a good sign, especially since her fever has subsided; however, it's essential to continue monitoring her platelet count and overall health under the guidance of her healthcare provider to ensure the underlying condition is being effectively managed.
