I'm wondering if it's okay to give my newborn 5 ml of Gastica drops once a day. I'm really hoping it might help with their digestion and gas issues. Is it safe and effective for little ones?

My child has been diagnosed with childhood asthma and it's really worrying me. He wheezes constantly and the treatment doesn't seem to be helping. It seems to get worse in the evenings, but the wheeze is always there no matter what. I use a nebuliser with Asthavent but it doesn't seem to ease the wheezing at all. The strange thing is, when he lies down, the wheezing disappears. He's even been hospitalized for respiratory distress before. What can I do or try next? I'm really concerned about his condition.

complete evaluation for the cause is required usualy that could be allergic identify the allergen and avoid it thats the main stay.

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.
