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?

View allMy 3-year-old has had a fever, cough, and cold since last Saturday, and I've been giving him Crocin, Augmentin DDS, and Amrox Junior. But he still seems to have the same symptoms. I'm really worried and not sure what else to do. Can you suggest any changes or next steps?
Cold is caused by a virus. Antibiotics will not help.

I'm really worried about my 5-year-old son. He's been dealing with a chronic cough for the last 3 weeks and usually, it gets better after a couple of weeks with nebulization. Weve been using Duolin for nebulization since he has mild asthma and also using Budecort and Salbair puffs. But this time, there's no major improvement, and his X-ray came back normal. I'm wondering why this could be happening and what else we might be able to do?

Is it okay to give Sizodon syrup to my 3.5-year-old who has autism? The doctor recommended it for his hyperactivity, and he's been on it for the past six months. I'm worried and don't really want to continue with it. If I stop the syrup, will there be any side effects, or should I just keep going with it? I'm really looking for advice on this.
Stopping the medication abruptly can lead to withdrawal symptoms or a return of the symptoms for which the medication was prescribed (hyperactivity, agitation). It's essential to consult with your doctor before stopping Sizodon. A healthcare provider may suggest gradual tapering off the medication to avoid withdrawal effects and to reassess the management of your child's symptoms.
