My daughter is 2 and a half years old and she's been dealing with a cold and cough since January. We saw a doctor who gave us some medicine, which helped with the cold but her cough hasn't gone away. She tends to cough especially at night while she's sleeping and again when she wakes up in the morning. We went back to the doctor and he mentioned that it might be early asthma symptoms and suggested we try LEVOLIN syrup for 5 days. He seemed optimistic and said asthma in kids can be cured with medicine. I'm really worried and curious about how common this is in young children and if there's anything specific I should watch for or do to help her. Does this seem like the right approach?

View allI'm currently down with a fever of 102 degrees and seeing as I'm breastfeeding, I'm a bit anxious about the medications I'm on. I've been prescribed Dolo 650 every 8 hours along with Sinarest in the morning and night, plus Cepodem XP also in the morning and night. Is it safe to take Dolo 650 and Sinarest together while breastfeeding?
Yes you can take it...there is no contraindication of paracetamol during breast feeding

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?
