I'm really worried because I used Flutivate cream on my son's burn wound, and it seems like the wound has only gotten worse. I'm not sure what went wrong. I have MUPI cream at homewould it be okay to try using that instead? What do you suggest I do?

My 3-year-old son has been having loose, watery stools all day and it's making me worried. I've tried some home remedies, but they haven't worked much. He's also having stomach pain when he goes to the bathroom. Can you suggest any medicine for his diarrhea? He weighs about 10 kg.

no need to worry follow your doctors advice

I'm wondering if there could be an issue if we end up using Duolin and Budecort nebulization for more days than the doctor suggested. Also, when using the nebulizer, is it better to breathe through the nose or the mouth?

Taking Duolin and Budecort nebulization for more days than prescribed can lead to overuse, causing paradoxical bronchospasm, tremors, palpitations, and other systemic side effects; it's essential to adhere to the prescribed duration and consult your doctor if symptoms persist, and breathe in the nebulized medication through your mouth, with your lips sealed tightly around the mouthpiece.

I've just had wax removed from my five-year-old's ear yesterday, but now he's suddenly experiencing pain in one ear and can't sleep. I'm looking for any immediate solutions that might help him get some rest tonight. I'll be taking him to the doctor tomorrow, but what can I do for him right now?
