I'm really worried as my 2-month-old baby has a completely blocked nose because of the weather. Can I use Otrivin paediatric nasal drops for her? Any suggestions would be really appreciated!

Can I give my 4-year-old son 5ml of Solvin Cold AF for his cold symptoms? He weighs about 11-12 kg, just want to make sure it's safe for him.

It's best to avoid giving Solvin Cold AF to your 4-year-old without consulting a pediatrician, as it contains multiple ingredients that may not be suitable for children. I recommend speaking with your child's doctor to get a safe and appropriate treatment plan for his cold symptoms.

I'm really concerned because my baby has fallen off the bed three times now. Each time, he landed on his tummy, and thankfully his head didn't get hurt. He's in his ninth month and seems active and normal now. I'm just worried if these falls might cause any problems in the future. Should I be concerned about anything?

If the baby is active, no bleeding and no vomiting, then usually no need to worry. Keep a close watch for 48 hours.

I'm wondering if it's alright to combine Duolin 2ml and Budecort 3ml for a single nebulization session, or should I do them in separate rounds?

You can mix Duolin (2ml) and Budecort (3ml) in one nebulization session, as they are commonly used together for combined bronchodilator and anti-inflammatory effects. Just ensure you follow your doctor's instructions and the prescribed dosage for your condition.
