I'm wondering if it's okay to use Smyle ulcer gel for my four-year-old. Could you let me know if it's safe? Your advice would really help us out as parents.

Its best to consult your pediatrician before using Smyle Ulcer Gel or any similar products on a child under 5 years old. The doctor may recommend alternative treatments that are both safe and effective for your childs age.

View allMy 10-year-old daughter had a fever, which thankfully went away after she took cefprozil, Alex PBifilac, and Pritexylls junior. However, she's still dealing with a really annoying dry cough, especially at night, which is making it hard for her to sleep well. We started giving her Kasnajiva and SeptilinhIMALAYA yesterday, but the cough hasn't improved much. Do you have any suggestions on what we should do next or if there's something else we could try? I'm really worried about her lack of sleep.
Continue same treatment for 5 days is advised to the patient.

My child has a really high fever, and their temperature is at 102F. The doctor suggested giving them Meftal, but even after taking one dose, the fever hasn't gone down. What should I do next, should I keep giving the medication or try something else? I'm really worried and could use some advice.
The medication Meftal is commonly used to reduce fever and relieve pain. In this case, since the fever is still high at 102F after taking Meftal, you can consider giving your child Acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) at a dose appropriate for their age and weight. It is important to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging or as advised by your doctor. Additionally, make sure your child stays hydrated and dress them lightly to help reduce the fever. If the fever persists or if your child's condition worsens, please consult your doctor for further evaluation.

I'm a bit worried about how safe it is to use a nebulizer for my baby. The doctor recommended using Astalin with a small sachet-like bottle for 5 minutes, then stopping for 15 minutes before using it again for another 5 minutes, and repeating this process three times in one session, twice a day. I'm really concerned if this could be toxic for my baby's heart.
Administering nebulization with Asthalin (salbutamol) via a nebulizer is generally safe for babies when done correctly and under medical supervision; the recommended dosing schedule of 5 minutes of nebulization, followed by a 15-minute break, repeated for a total of 3 cycles, twice a day, is a common and effective regimen; however, it's essential to monitor your baby's heart rate and overall condition during and after nebulization, as salbutamol can increase heart rate and cause palpitations;
