My little one is 15 months old and she seems to catch colds really easily. At first, the doctor suggested using a steamer for hot steam, but I'm worried about her getting burned. Then, another doctor recommended using a nebulizer with saline water, which gives cold steam. I'm a bit confused. Which method would give her better relief, or do they both work the same way?

Both steam inhalation and nebulization with saline can help manage cold symptoms, Nebulization is typically safer

View allI'm really worried about my daughter. She had this issue a month ago, and after taking her medication, she got better. But now, for the past five days, she's facing the same problem again. We went to the doctor, and they prescribed her zagoozlomofen, hyocimax, and florazn. Could you tell me if this is the right treatment? I'm concerned because she doesn't seem completely better yet.

I'm trying to figure out which deworming medication is better for my 5-year-old, Bandy or Bandy Plus. Can you explain the difference between the two? I'm a bit worried about which one is the right choice for my kid.
For a 5-year-old, **Bandy** is generally preferred for deworming, as it contains the standard dosage for children. **Bandy Plus** has additional ingredients that may be used for broader treatment, but it's best to consult a pediatrician for the right choice based on the child's specific needs. Always follow the doctor's recommendation for the safest and most effective option.

I'm wondering if it's okay to give my 18-month-old NAN Pro powder stage 4. It just seems like my little one isn't gaining much weight. I've heard that NAN can help with baby weight gain. Is it safe, and could there be any side effects I should know about?
NAN Pro powder stage 4 is not recommended for children below 2 years of age. It is specifically formulated for older toddlers. For weight gain in younger children, you can consider using Pediasure. It is a nutritional supplement that can help with weight gain in children. The recommended dosage for Pediasure is 1-2 servings per day, as advised by your pediatrician. Always consult with your child's pediatrician before starting any new supplement.
