Question 1

My daughter's been coughing since October and at first, it was just like any normal cough. After three days of this, we took her to see her pediatrician who prescribed some meds and antibiotics. She's basically been on one medication or another since then. We've even seen a few doctors, like a general physician, another pediatrician, and a pulmonologist, but nothing's working. She coughs so much at night that sometimes she ends up vomiting. We're really worried and feel helpless about her health. She's on an inhaler and other meds for her cough and cold right now. Can someone offer any advice for us concerned parents?

Accepted Answer

Yes,continue same treatment.Ecg and x-ray chest pa view is advised to the patient.

Question 3

I've been dealing with chickenpox since yesterday, and my doctor told me to get some rest and prescribed HERPERAX 800. But when I went to the pharmacy, they gave me something called Herpikind instead. I'm really wondering, are these two medications basically the same when it comes to treating chickenpox?

Accepted Answer

I can understand your concern well. You need not worry at all. I can surely help you in this regard.But, for the best advise specific to you, I need to know some important medical history that's required in your case.

My 3-year-old son has been having loose, watery stools all day and it's making me worried. I've tried some home remedies, but they haven't worked much. He's also having stomach pain when he goes to the bathroom. Can you suggest any medicine for his diarrhea? He weighs about 10 kg.

no need to worry follow your doctors advice
