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.

View allMy daughter had her 6-week vaccinations on March 8th, and since then, she's had a lump on her thigh. The doctor suggested using hot water treatment, but there's still a small lump there. Could you give me some advice on what else I should do or if this is normal?
Is it normal to get a lump after an injection? Getting a lump under your skin is a normal and expected injection site reaction. The lump may be painful or tender. As with other symptoms related to injection site reactions, get medical attention if your symptoms last longer than 1 to 2 days or get worse.

I'm really worried because my 2-month-old baby accidentally swallowed one of my hairs. I saw it on his tongue and tried to get it out, but then he swallowed it. Is this something I should be concerned about?
It is important to monitor for any signs of distress such as difficulty breathing, coughing, or vomiting. In most cases, the hair will pass through the digestive system without causing any issues. However, if you notice any concerning symptoms or if your baby seems to be in discomfort, you should consult a pediatrician.

my 5-month-old baby weighs 6.5 kg and needs to gain weight for her cleft palate surgery right now she's on formula milk around 800ml daily plus some ragi porridge and occasional breast milk since my supply is low i try feeding her 90ml every 2 hours but she refuses to take 150ml at once like the doctor suggested what else can i feed her to help her gain weight faster
Every child is different. One child may take 90ml every 2 hours and one child may take 180ml and remain full for 4 to 6 hours. So need not worry. Also weight gain is good. Continue what you are doing and don't force feed.
