View allI'm wondering how much it usually costs for nebulization at a hospital for my baby. We need to do it twice a day for a whole week, and I'm not sure what to expect price-wise. Can you give me an idea?
Nebulization typically costs between 200 to 500 per session in hospitals, depending on the facility and location. If your baby requires it twice a day for a week, you might be looking at a total of 2800 to 7000 for the week, though prices can vary. I would suggest confirming with your hospital for more precise rates.

My son has been having a high fever for the past 4 days and we've been giving him Crocin, but it hasn't helped. We started using Ibugesic after consulting our family doctor, and there's still no improvement. What should we do?

My 10-year-old daughter had a fever, which thankfully went away after she took cefprozil, Alex PBifilac, and Pritexylls junior. However, she's still dealing with a really annoying dry cough, especially at night, which is making it hard for her to sleep well. We started giving her Kasnajiva and SeptilinhIMALAYA yesterday, but the cough hasn't improved much. Do you have any suggestions on what we should do next or if there's something else we could try? I'm really worried about her lack of sleep.
Continue same treatment for 5 days is advised to the patient.
