I'm really worried about my little boy. He's 2 years and 6 months and has been having a rough time with a persistent cough. He recently got over a fever, which was a relief, but now I'm not sure which cough syrup would be best for him. Could you help me figure out what's suitable for his age?

For your son's cough, you can consider giving him syrup brands like Benadryl, Tixylix, or Ascoril.

View allI'm a first-time mom, and my baby is now 14 days old. For the past week, she's been crying for almost three hours every night and sometimes during the day too. We tried giving her colic medicine for four days, but she keeps crying. With this Covid situation, it's really hard to visit a hospital. Is this something normal?
