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 a bit worried because my baby was born at 34 weeks and he's now 2 months and 18 days old, but he's not quite recognizing us, especially his mom. He's just started seeing some objects, but not very clearly. When can we expect him to start seeing us properly and responding with a smile?

No need to worry it takes time, usually from 3 to 4 months baby starts recognising people, have a regular followup with your doctor

My daughter's been coughing since October and at first, it was just like any normal cough. After three days of this, we took her to see her pediatrician who prescribed some meds and antibiotics. She's basically been on one medication or another since then. We've even seen a few doctors, like a general physician, another pediatrician, and a pulmonologist, but nothing's working. She coughs so much at night that sometimes she ends up vomiting. We're really worried and feel helpless about her health. She's on an inhaler and other meds for her cough and cold right now. Can someone offer any advice for us concerned parents?

Yes,continue same treatment.Ecg and x-ray chest pa view is advised to the patient.
