I'm really worried because my 4-year-old has been having loose motions. What syrup can I give him to help with this?

A child of 4 years old suffering from loose motions can be given syrup containing Racecadotril. The recommended dosage for Racecadotril syrup in children is 1.5 mg per kg of body weight per dose, to be taken 3 times a day. It is important to consult with a pediatrician for proper evaluation and guidance.

My 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 because my niece accidentally swallowed a coin yesterday. We had an x-ray done, and it showed that the coin is now in her stomach. The doctor advised us to just wait, but today she went to the bathroom and passed stool, and the coin still hasn't come out. She's acting normally and doing all her usual activities, which is a relief, but I'm still concerned. Should I be doing anything else, or when should I be worried?
