I've just had wax removed from my five-year-old's ear yesterday, but now he's suddenly experiencing pain in one ear and can't sleep. I'm looking for any immediate solutions that might help him get some rest tonight. I'll be taking him to the doctor tomorrow, but what can I do for him right now?

View allI'm giving my 18-month-old son Sinarest AF for his cold. I've been giving him 4ml three times a day for the past three days, and he seems to be getting better with it. I'm wondering if it's safe to continue using this medication in the future whenever he catches a cold. Is it okay to keep doing this?
Sinarest-AF is a combination medication that contains Paracetamol, Phenylephrine, and Chlorpheniramine. It is commonly used to relieve symptoms of cold and flu. In children, especially under 2 years old, the safety and efficacy of Phenylephrine and Chlorpheniramine are not well established. It is recommended to consult with a pediatrician before giving Sinarest-AF to children under 2 years old. For cold symptoms in children, it is important to focus on supportive care such as ensuring adequate rest, hydration, and a healthy diet. If your son has cold symptoms in the future, it is best to consult with a pediatrician for appropriate treatment options.

I'm worried because my 1.5-month-old baby cries a lot in the morning and afternoon, turning red. Is it okay to start giving her gripe water? I've been told to stick to only breastfeeding, and I'm really concerned about what's going on.
Feces-Smelling Breath (Halitosis) Management _Underlying Causes_ 1. *GERD*: Gastroesophageal reflux disease can cause stomach acid to flow up into the throat, leading to bad breath. 2. *Postnasal drip*: Excess mucus production can contribute to bad breath. 3. *Aching root canal molar*: Infected or inflamed teeth can cause bad breath. 4. *Other possible causes*: Sinus infections, tonsillitis, or other oral health issues. _Recommended Steps_ 1. *Dental evaluation*: Schedule an appointment with your dentist to assess the root canal molar and overall oral health. 2. *GERD management*: Work with your doctor to manage GERD symptoms, such as through lifestyle changes, medication, or surgery. 3. *Postnasal drip treatment*: Use saline nasal sprays, humidifiers, or consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for further guidance. 4. *Oral hygiene*: Continue good oral hygiene practices, including brushing, flossing, and tongue scraping. 5. *Consult a specialist*: If bad breath persists, consider consulting a halitosis specialist or an ENT specialist for further evaluation and guidance. _Temporary Relief Measures_ 1. *Sugar-free gum or lozenges*: Stimulate saliva production to help neutralize acids and wash away bacteria. 2. *Mouthwashes*: Use antibacterial mouthwashes to help reduce bacteria and freshen breath. 3. *Water and hydration*: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and help rinse away bacteria.
