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.

How do you bring down a fever?
Fever is just a symptom of any underlying infection or inflammation and it will come down only when the cause is treated. Cold water either in the form of drinking or tepid sponging helps in controlling core body temperature in fever.

I'm really concerned about my 2-month-old son's condition. He's got white patches all over his mouth after drinking milk. I'm not sure if this is something normal or if I need to do something about it. Could you please advise on what might be going on and what steps I should take?
The white patches in your 2-month-old son's mouth, appearing after feeding, are likely thrush, a common fungal infection; consult your pediatrician for a proper diagnosis and guidance, and in the meantime, try to clean the patches gently with a soft cloth and water, and ensure proper sterilization of pacifiers and bottle nipples.
