I'm really worried because for the past two days, he's been having loose motions and also some vomiting. The vomiting seems to have stopped since yesterday, but the loose motions are still going on. What could be causing this, and is there something we should do to help it stop?

It's been a full 11 days since I first got chicken pox, and the scabs haven't fallen off yet. I'm really starting to worry because it doesn't seem like any of them are going away. Is this normal? How much longer is it going to take for them to disappear?

I'm really concerned about my 4-year-old son. I've noticed that some family members tend to give Brandy to kids, even those younger than him, when they have a cough or cold. I've seen the warning labels on Brandy bottles, so I'm a bit confused and worried. Is it really okay to give Brandy to a kid for a cough or cold? What could be the negative effects, if any, on a child?

Brandy is not recommended for children, especially at such a young age. It can have harmful effects on their developing bodies. Instead, you can give your child over-the-counter medications like Children's Tylenol or Children's Motrin for relief from cough and cold symptoms. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage based on your child's weight and age.
