I'm really worried about my son; he's been dealing with a cold, cough, wheezing, and a runny nose for the past 11 days. He wasn't eating anything and seemed to be thirsty all the time, which isn't normal for him. We went to see a pediatrician who recommended T-minic and Asthalin syrup along with a nebulizer, but we skipped the nebulizer because he doesn't feel comfortable with it. Now he's a bit better, eating decently, and is more active. But his runny nose just won't go away, especially in the mornings and evenings, even after all this time. I've stopped giving him the Asthalin syrup but continue with T-minic twice a day. What can I do about this persistent runny nose? Also, it seems like his colds often turn into wheezing now, and that's really tough on him and us too. He's restless and can't sleep, which affects his appetite as well. I can't bear to see him suffer like this, and it's scary to think of him catching another cold that might turn into wheezing again. Any advice would be really appreciated.

For your son's persistent running nose, consider adding saline nasal drops or spray to help loosen mucus, and consult the pediatrician about continuing Tminic and possibly adding an antihistamine or decongestant; regarding the recurring wheezing, discuss with the pediatrician the possibility of underlying conditions like asthma, allergies, or respiratory issues, and explore preventive measures, such as avoiding triggers, using a humidifier, and keeping your home clean and dust-free, to reduce the likelihood of wheezing episodes.

I'm worried about my 4-year-old who's been having frequent fevers. Every month it's the same story, and all the doctors we've seen keep recommending this P250 syrup. We've already used more than one and a half bottles and there's still no improvement. Is it really okay for him to be taking so much P250, like more than one or two bottles? Are there any risks involved with giving it to him regularly, especially since he's had all his vaccines but just can't seem to shake the fever?
Giving P250 (Paracetamol) to your child for fever is a common practice, but it is important to ensure that the dosage is appropriate and does not exceed the recommended limits. P250 contains Paracetamol which is generally safe when taken at the correct dosage. However, excessive use or overdose of Paracetamol can lead to serious health issues, including liver damage. Since your child is experiencing frequent fevers, it is advisable to consult with the doctor to investigate the underlying cause of these recurrent fevers. Depending on the diagnosis, the doctor may recommend alternative treatments or further investigations to address the root cause of the fevers. In the meantime, if your child continues to have fever episodes, you can continue giving P250 as per the doctor's recommendation.

I'm really worried about her. She's been having a temperature of 99 degrees for the last 35 days, and initially, it was around 100 for two days. We gave her paracetamol then, and it didn't go above 99 after that. Should I be concerned that it's lasted this long? What should we do next?
