I'm wondering if it's okay to give my 5-year-old son Maxtra syrup. How much should I give him, and are there any side effects I should be aware of? Also, is Sinarest syrup a better option? I'm really curious about which one is safer and more effective for my child.

-Yes, you can give Maxtra syrup to your 5-year-old for cold symptoms, but the dosage depends on weight, usually 2.5-5ml twice daily. It might cause mild drowsiness or an upset stomach. Sinarest syrup is also effective, but consult your pediatricia

I'm really worried about my 16-year-old son who has a vitamin deficiency. He's been taking Supradyn tablets for a while now, but he's supposed to continue them for a few more months. We're not in the best financial situation, so I was wondering if Neurobion Forte could be a cheaper alternative. Would it provide the same benefits for his deficiency?

Yes, Neurobion forte can be a suitable alternative for vitamin deficiency. It contains essential B vitamins such as B1, B6, and B12 which can help in improving overall health and energy levels. The recommended dosage for Neurobion forte is one tablet per day. It can be a cost-effective option for your family considering your background.

My 6-year-old son has been dealing with allergic bronchitis and it seems like he gets it frequently. He had a little bit of cold curd yesterday and now he's started coughing. I've been using a nebulizer for him and I remember his doctor once mentioned that it's okay to nebulize him every half hour if things get severe.
