I'm really worried because Sidrah has been dealing with a cold and cough for the past three days. It's more of a wet cough. I've been giving her Relent plus for two days and started Asthakind DX yesterday. Could you give me some advice on how to help her get better?

She seems to be suffering from common cold which is a common type of nose and throat virus infection. Usually it will resolve on its own within few days. You can continue giving medications. No specific treatment is really needed. Self medications are better avoided

View allI'm really worried because my 7-year-old's platelet count just dropped from 172,000 to 130,000 in just a day, and on top of that, their WBC count shot up from 6,400 to 25,000. They're dealing with Dengue right now. Could this be risky? What's the threshold for platelet levels to become dangerous? What should we do?
This rapid change in blood counts indicates a worsening condition. In Dengue fever, a platelet count below 20000 is considered dangerous and requires immediate medical attention. I recommend immediate hospitalization for close monitoring and management. The child may require intravenous fluids, platelet transfusion, and other supportive care as deemed necessary by the healthcare provider. It is important to closely monitor the child's condition and follow the healthcare provider's recommendations for further treatment.

I'm trying to understand the difference between Zincovit and Zincovit CL and if it's safe to give either of these to a 10-year-old. Is there a particular one that's better, like the tablet or syrup form, for kids around that age?
Zincovit and Zincovit CL are both multivitamin supplements, but Zincovit CL also contains added zinc and vitamin C. Zincovit CL can be given to a 10-year-old child. For a 10-year-old, it is generally recommended to give the Zincovit CL syrup as it is easier to swallow and dose accurately compared to tablets.
