I'm worried about my 4-year-old son because he's got a pretty bad cough and cold. Right now, I'm giving him Bactus B and Rapitus syrups. Is it safe and effective to keep using these for his treatment?

I'm a bit worried about my 7-year-old son. I used to give him PEDIASURE, but he started putting on weight and lost his appetite after around three years, so I stopped. I've heard people say that all those drinks are similar, and he was having COMPLAN too, but I've stopped that as well. I'm just trying to figure out what's true and whether I should be adding anything to his milk or just keep it plain. If I should add something, what would be best for him?

I'm experiencing some mild itching and discomfort around my anus, mostly during the night. It's starting to worry me a bit because I think it might be pinworms. I'm considering taking a deworming medication but I'm not sure what would be best. Could you give me a prescription and suggest the dosage?
