My 2-year-old daughter has been diagnosed with asthma, and I'm really worried because we've seen multiple pediatricians without much improvement. About a year ago, she started with a severe cough that lasted for around five months, and we treated her for just that before realizing it was asthma. Were currently giving her salbutamol and prednisolone, but I'm concerned about whether this is the best treatment plan or if there's something else we should consider. Could you offer any guidance or suggestions?

I'm really worried about my 2.5-year-old son. I've noticed that his left tonsil appears bigger than the right one. Is this something normal, or should I be concerned? Could you let me know what steps to take next?

That could be infective tonsillitis,give him warm fluids and plenty of water, visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management

My baby is 64 days old and sleeps through the night from 11 pm to 6 am without waking for feeds. His last feed is around 10:30 pm. During the day, he feeds on demand and stays active with good urine output, though he poops every alternate day. We're doing mixed feeding mostly pumped milk with formula only when needed. He had a lip and tongue tie release surgery 10 days ago and takes about 7-9 feeds per day. Should I wake him at night to feed or is it okay to let him sleep since he's gaining well and active during the day

let him sleep
