I'm worried because my 14-month-old daughter has had a cold and cough for the last month, and her doctor told us to use Duolin respules in a nebulizer for her. I've heard that this is usually for asthma and other conditions, so I'm not sure if it's the right treatment. Can you give me some advice on this?

The condition could be Bronchitis or Bronchiolitis that is the reason why your doctor prescribed respules,no harm in using tthose you can use them.

View allI'm really worried about my son; he's been dealing with a cold, cough, wheezing, and a runny nose for the past 11 days. He wasn't eating anything and seemed to be thirsty all the time, which isn't normal for him. We went to see a pediatrician who recommended T-minic and Asthalin syrup along with a nebulizer, but we skipped the nebulizer because he doesn't feel comfortable with it. Now he's a bit better, eating decently, and is more active. But his runny nose just won't go away, especially in the mornings and evenings, even after all this time. I've stopped giving him the Asthalin syrup but continue with T-minic twice a day. What can I do about this persistent runny nose? Also, it seems like his colds often turn into wheezing now, and that's really tough on him and us too. He's restless and can't sleep, which affects his appetite as well. I can't bear to see him suffer like this, and it's scary to think of him catching another cold that might turn into wheezing again. Any advice would be really appreciated.
For your son's persistent running nose, consider adding saline nasal drops or spray to help loosen mucus, and consult the pediatrician about continuing Tminic and possibly adding an antihistamine or decongestant; regarding the recurring wheezing, discuss with the pediatrician the possibility of underlying conditions like asthma, allergies, or respiratory issues, and explore preventive measures, such as avoiding triggers, using a humidifier, and keeping your home clean and dust-free, to reduce the likelihood of wheezing episodes.

I'm having trouble finding a place in Gurgaon where they give polio drops. We're keeping up with regular immunization like DPT, but I'm wondering if we also need to join these government polio drop programs. Is it necessary?
Since your child is already receiving regular immunizations, including DPT, they are likely protected against polio. However, participating in government-led polio drop programs can provide additional protection, especially since India is still at risk of wild poliovirus importation. To find a place in Gurgaon where polio drops are administered, you can try contacting local health authorities or visiting the National Health Mission website for more information. Additionally, you can reach out to your child's pediatrician for guidance on polio vaccination and drops.
