I'm really worried about my 9-month-old baby. He's been having a severe cold and fever, and there's a lot of congestion in his nose and chest. I've been using a baby rub on his chest a couple of times a day, but his nose is still really stuffed up. He's also taking a syrup for the fever. Can you recommend a nasal spray that would help clear up his cold?

I'm sorry to hear your baby isn't feeling well. For nasal congestion, you can try a saline nasal spray like Little Remedies Saline Nasal Spray or Aqua Maris Baby Nasal Spray, which is safe for babies and helps relieve nasal blockage. If symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your pediatrician for further guidance.

View allI'm really worried about my 4-month-old. After every feeding, they seem to have loose motion, and I've noticed it's a yellowish color. Plus, theres some coughing happening. Could this be something serious? What can I do to help my baby?
Your baby may have gastroenteritis, which is inflammation of the stomach and intestines. For loose motions, you can give your baby oral rehydration solution (ORS) to prevent dehydration. You can also give probiotics like Enterogermina to help restore the balance of good bacteria in the gut. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and management.

Is it okay to take Montek LC for a whole month? My doctor told me to, but I'm breastfeeding and just want to make sure it's safe.
Very low levels of montelukast appear in breastmilk. Montelukast is approved for use in children as young as 6 months of age and has been used in neonates in dosages far greater than the amounts in breastmilk. Amounts ingested by the infant would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants No special precautions are required.
