My little girl is 7 months and a few days old, and she weighs 8.8 kg. She's been having this dry cough, especially noticeable when she sleeps, but otherwise, she's doing great. When she was around 5 months, the doctor recommended maxtra syrup for her cough. Is it okay for me to give her the maxtra syrup now, and if so, what's the appropriate dose for her weight?

My son's been coughing for more than 20 days now and he's been taking zest syrup and some antibiotics, but it just won't go away. It's not a dry cough and he also starts sneezing when he coughs. What should I do?
It seems he is suffering from respiratory tract infection. Any cough of more than 21 days duration can be due to Pulmonary Tuberculosis.

I'm really worried because my 18-month-old son needs his IPV and Hib vaccines, but our doctor says they're not available. It's been over two weeks since he was supposed to get them. What should I do? Is there a way to find where the vaccines might be available, or should I be concerned about the delay?
A creatinine level of 2.3 is considered high and may not be safe for angiography. High creatinine levels can indicate kidney damage or disease, which may be exacerbated by the contrast dye used in angiography . To reduce high creatinine levels, consider the following: - *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to help your kidneys function properly. - *Follow a low-protein diet*: Excessive protein can put strain on your kidneys. - *Limit salt and sugar intake*: Both can exacerbate kidney damage. - *Exercise regularly*: Regular physical activity can help improve kidney function. - *Manage underlying conditions*: If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or other conditions that can affect kidney function, work with your doctor to manage them effectively. Given your continuously rising creatinine levels, it's essential to consult with your doctor to determine the best course of action. They may recommend alternative tests or procedures that don't involve contrast dye.
