My 3-year-old, who weighs 13 kilos, has been experiencing vomiting and indigestion. I'm wondering what the right dosage of Emeset syrup would be for them. Could you guide me on this?

For a 3-year-old child weighing 13 kg, the recommended dosage of Emeset syrup (Ondansetron) for vomiting and indigestion is typically 2-4 mg (1-2 mL of the 2 mgmL syrup) every 4-6 hours as needed

MMR vaccines contain live measles, mumps and rubella viruses that have been weakened (attenuated). These stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies for protection but do not cause disease in healthy people. Usual dosing in children is two doses - first at 9 to 12 months and second at 16 to 24 months of age.

I'm really concerned about my 4-year-old son. I've noticed that some family members tend to give Brandy to kids, even those younger than him, when they have a cough or cold. I've seen the warning labels on Brandy bottles, so I'm a bit confused and worried. Is it really okay to give Brandy to a kid for a cough or cold? What could be the negative effects, if any, on a child?
Brandy is not recommended for children, especially at such a young age. It can have harmful effects on their developing bodies. Instead, you can give your child over-the-counter medications like Children's Tylenol or Children's Motrin for relief from cough and cold symptoms. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage based on your child's weight and age.

I'm really worried about my 14-month-old daughter; she's not walking yet, just crawling, and her weight seems quite low at 7.2 kg. She was 2.8 kg at birth. I'm not breastfeeding anymore and I've been giving her cow's milk along with soft food three times a day. She eats well, but she's having stools 2 to 3 times daily. The doctor recommended Bevcon syrup for a month, but I'm not sure if that's enough. Could you suggest what else I should consider or if there's another syrup that might help?
