My 16-month-old has had a cough for a week now and the pediatrician prescribed Protussa, but it hasn't helped much. She's been vomiting right after she coughs, especially after eating. What should I do next?

I'm really worried because I've had a cough, cold, and fever ever since I ate some ice cream that was too cold from the freezer. Could eating the ice cream have caused this, or is it just a coincidence? What should I do to feel better?

Not for everyone its applicablesome wil catch up with cold on eating ice creams..but eating heavy dose definitely wil cause cold

I'm really worried about my 6-month-old son. It's been raining a lot, and he ended up with a cold. We didn't clean his ears properly, and we also kept a cap on him, which I think might have led to some pus in his ears. The pediatrician gave us Clavam Bid drops, and we're giving him 2.5 ml three times a day for a week. But now, on the second day of taking it, he's experiencing loose motions after drinking breast milk, and we're not feeding him any solids. What should we do?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Sputum for AFB,microscopy, x-ray chest pa view,complete blood count,esr and C-reactive protein are advised to the patient.
