I'm really worried about my 6-month-old son. It's been raining a lot, and he ended up with a cold. We didn't clean his ears properly, and we also kept a cap on him, which I think might have led to some pus in his ears. The pediatrician gave us Clavam Bid drops, and we're giving him 2.5 ml three times a day for a week. But now, on the second day of taking it, he's experiencing loose motions after drinking breast milk, and we're not feeding him any solids. What should we do?

Can I give my 10-year-old son the dynapar tablet more than three times a day for his ear pain? Are there any side effects I should be worried about?

It's not safe to give Dynapar more than 3 times a day for a 10-year-old, as it may cause side effects like stomach irritation or kidney issues. Stick to the prescribed dosage, and if the pain persists, consult a doctor for further guidance.

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?

Continue same treatment.
