My son has been diagnosed with the early stages of pneumonia and asthma. We've been told to use Asthalene and Budocret inhalers for him. Is it safe for a 4-year-old to use these inhalers? How long do you think he'll need to use them for his condition to improve? He's also currently taking Montair 5 mg and Zecom syrup. Would love some guidance on this.

I'm really worried about my 4-year-old. They've had a cold and cough for three days now and are even throwing up. We've already given them an antibiotic and some cough syrup, but I'm not sure if that's enough or if we're doing the right thing. Could it be something more serious or should we try something else?

Lox 2% jelly, containing lidocaine, can provide temporary numbing relief for painful intercourse due to lack of lubrication. However, it's essential to use it with caution: *Safety Precautions* 1. *Consult your doctor*: Before using Lox 2% jelly, consult your doctor, especially if you have any underlying medical conditions or allergies. 2. *Use as directed*: Follow the instructions carefully, and apply the jelly only to the affected area. 3. *Avoid excessive use*: Don't use more than the recommended amount, as this can lead to prolonged numbness or other adverse effects. *Alternative Solutions* 1. *Water-based lubricants*: Consider using water-based lubricants, like K-Y Jelly or Astroglide, which can help reduce friction and discomfort during intercourse. 2. *Hormonal treatments*: If you're experiencing vaginal dryness due to hormonal changes, your doctor may recommend hormonal treatments, such as estrogen creams or supplements. *Addressing Underlying Issues* 1. *Gynecological check-up*: Schedule a check-up with your gynecologist to rule out any underlying conditions that may be contributing to your discomfort. 2. *Open communication*: Discuss your concerns with your partner, and explore ways to make intercourse more comfortable and enjoyable for you.
