I'm worried because my 7-year-old has been dealing with asthma, and we've been using Foracort 200 mg and Montek LC for their treatment. I'm wondering if there are any other medication options we could consider. Can these medicines be changed or adjusted for a child of this age? I'm really hoping to find the best solution to help manage the asthma symptoms better.

I'm really worried because my wife started taking Cabgolin 0.25 mg to stop breastfeeding our daughter, but now our little one isn't feeling well and is really upset, constantly asking for breast milk. We couldn't do much else, so my wife ended up breastfeeding her again. Is this going to be harmful to our daughter?

usually there are no such complications no need to worry
