I'm really worried about my 3-and-a-half-year-old girl who's been having a dry cough for a week. Luckily, there's no fever or cold, but now there's this gur gur sound coming from her chest. Should I give her an expectorant or try nebulization? We have a prescription for Alex Jr. from the doctor, but I'm unsure if I should keep using it. It's tough to get to the hospital right now because of the lockdown and distance. What should I do?

View allI'm just wondering about the right dosage for Zincovit tablets for a 10-year-old kid and for adults. And I'm also curious about the right dosage for Celin 500mg in both kids and adults. Is the Celin tablet chewable?
For Zincovit: - Children (10 years old): 1 tablet (containing 20mg zinc, 100mg vitamin C, and other multivitamins) once daily after meals, - Adults: 1-2 tablets once or twice daily after meals. For Celin 500mg: - Children (10 years old): 250-500mg (12 to 1 tablet) once daily, - Adults: 500mg (1 tablet) once daily. Celin 500mg tablets are not chewable; they should be swallowed whole with water.

my 5-month-old baby weighs 6.5 kg and needs to gain weight for her cleft palate surgery right now she's on formula milk around 800ml daily plus some ragi porridge and occasional breast milk since my supply is low i try feeding her 90ml every 2 hours but she refuses to take 150ml at once like the doctor suggested what else can i feed her to help her gain weight faster
Every child is different. One child may take 90ml every 2 hours and one child may take 180ml and remain full for 4 to 6 hours. So need not worry. Also weight gain is good. Continue what you are doing and don't force feed.

I'm really worried about my 7-year-old son's asthma attacks. Can I use Duolin respules in a nebulizer for his asthma attacks? I know that albuterol or salbutamol is commonly used for asthma, but since Duolin doesn't have these active ingredients, is it still okay to use?
you can use duolin nebulizer
