I'm really worried about my 5 and a half month old son. Every morning he starts coughing and his doctor recommended using asthalin in a nebulizer three times a day. Last month, we even had to admit him to the hospital because of breathing issues related to his cough, and they treated him with a nebulizer there too. Can you help me understand what's actually going on with my baby? And is asthalin the right choice for him?

It seems like your baby may be experiencing recurrent respiratory issues, possibly asthma or a similar condition that affects the airways, causing cough and breathing difficulty. Asthalin in a nebulizer can help relax the muscles in the airways, easing his breathing, but it's important to monitor his response and follow up regularly with your doctor for any adjustments in treatment.

I'm really concerned because my mom, my 17-month-old son, and I ate a mango that had these white maggot-like worms in it. My mom and I ended up vomiting afterward, and we even saw some of the worms still moving. I'm really worried about whether this could have any effects, especially on my son. Can you offer any advice on what I should do?
The worms you are describing may be parasitic worms that can cause health issues. You should consult a healthcare professional to get the proper diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, you can consider taking Albendazole 400mg tablet as a deworming medication for adults. For your 17-month-old son, you can give him Albendazole suspension in a dosage appropriate for his weight. Make sure to follow the dosage instructions provided by the healthcare professional.

My son is 4 years old and he's been having this cough with mucus for a while. Every time he coughs, I can feel and hear the mucus in his lungs, but it just won't come out. It's really worrying me. Our doctor suggested giving him Montair LC Kid syrup for four days, and mentioned that if things don't get better, we'd have to try nebulization. When I looked up Montair LC, it seemed to be more for allergies or asthma. Is it really safe to give him this syrup, and will it actually help with the mucus in his chest?
Yes ,continue same treatment.
