My 6-year-old son has been dealing with allergic bronchitis and it seems like he gets it frequently. He had a little bit of cold curd yesterday and now he's started coughing. I've been using a nebulizer for him and I remember his doctor once mentioned that it's okay to nebulize him every half hour if things get severe. I'm just worried though, is it really safe to do that or are there potential side effects I should be aware of? His father's side of the family does have a history of asthma.

My little one is 2 years and 2 months old, and I'm thinking about starting Junior Horlicks Stage 1. I'm unsure what the right age is since I noticed that both the Stage 1 and Stage 2 packs mention not giving it to children under 2 years old, but there's no more detailed age info. Could you help me with when might be a good time to start?

no problem you can take

I'm wondering if it's safe for my 13-month-old to take gripe water while she's dealing with a throat infection. She's currently on medication for it, and I just want to make sure adding gripe water won't interfere or cause any issues. Could it possibly help soothe her symptoms, or should we steer clear since she's on other meds right now?

No dont give grype water until she is free from infection,istead of grype water you can use neipeptine drops or colicaid ez drops
