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?

View allI'm really worried about my baby. She's got these white spots on her face and her skin is super dry. I've been using Cetaphil moisturizer, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. What's going on, and what should I do to help her skin get better?
It sounds like your baby may be experiencing a condition called eczema, which can cause dry, itchy skin and white spots. In addition to using a moisturizer like Cetaphil, I recommend using a gentle steroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream on the affected areas twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Make sure to apply a thin layer and avoid the eye area. Also, consider using a mild soap for bathing and keeping the skin well moisturized throughout the day. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and management.

My 2-year-old daughter has a fever of 103, and we've tried giving her continuous sponge baths, but it's not coming down. We also gave her 4 ml of Meftal P suspension, but then she vomited an hour later. Should I give her another dose, and when is it safe to give her paracetamol P250 again?
Since fever has just started and she has vomited just once it is best to wait and watch. You can give crocin at 6 hour interval if temperature is above 100F. Also give plenty of fluids such as ORS to avoid dehydration. If however such high fever recurs or vomiting continues or there are any other symptoms you must consult a doctor for physical examination to exclude dehydration or serious causes of fever.
