Question

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.

Question

I'm really worried about my 8-year-old daughter. She had COVID back in September and then pneumonia in November, which got her hospitalized. We managed to get her treated, but now, in mid-February, she's come down with a fever, cold, and wet cough again. Our pediatrician did an X-ray and it's pneumonia once more, and they mentioned it's viral. We've been taking such good care of her since November, so I'm just so confused as to why it's happening again. Do you think she needs more tests or investigations to figure this out? What should we do next?
