I'm really worried about my daughter who's been struggling with pneumonia for the last six years. She had a really bad attack and was admitted to the hospital. Over the past two years, she's been having chest pain and coughs a lot, especially when someone taps on her back. Should I be concerned about these symptoms? What do you think might be causing this, and are there any specific steps I should be taking to help her get better?

I've been taking Cherifer PGM food supplement for a month now, and I'm wondering what time of day is best to take it. Also, I had to stop for a week because I was on another medication and resumed two weeks later. Is that okay?

You can take Cherifer PGM food supplement at any time of the day, but it is generally recommended to take it after a meal to maximize absorption. As for your situation, it is okay that you stopped taking it for a week and resumed after two weeks. Just continue taking it as directed on the packaging for the best results.

I'm really concerned about my 6-year-old who's been dealing with an allergic cough for the past 4 years. Sometimes it gets really frequent, like every 20 to 30 days, and it seems to get worse at night, between midnight and 4 AM. There have been instances of vomiting, and our doctor mentioned something about bilateral wheeze and said it was moderate. They suggested we nebulize both in the morning and evening. Does this sound like a typical treatment plan for these symptoms? Are there any other options we should consider?
