My 6-month-old daughter has been experiencing loose motions for over a week now. I took her to Dr. Seema, and she recommended giving her 1 ml of zd for the last 8 days. We've also been using syp Enterogermina, half a dose per day for 4 days, but there's still no improvement. I'm really worried about her condition. Could you please suggest what to do next?

I'm wondering if it's okay to give my 5-year-old son Maxtra syrup. How much should I give him, and are there any side effects I should be aware of? Also, is Sinarest syrup a better option? I'm really curious about which one is safer and more effective for my child.

-Yes, you can give **Maxtra syrup** to your 5-year-old for cold symptoms, but the dosage depends on weight, usually 2.5-5ml twice daily. It might cause mild drowsiness or an upset stomach. **Sinarest syrup** is also effective, but consult your pediatricia

I'm worried about my 4-year-old's earache and wondering if there are any safe ear drops I could use in case of emergencies? Or should I always consult a doctor, even for what seems like a simple ear pain?

My kid has this cough that kicks in about 3-4 hours after she falls asleep at night. It's pretty frequent, and we just give her water, which seems to work after a 2030 second coughing fit. The cough just comes back every few hours throughout the night, and we're honestly exhausted from this routine. What could be causing this, and is there anything more we could do to help her?

give syrup ascoril twice daily for 5 days
