I'm a bit worried about using thrombophob gel on my 18-month-old son. Is it safe to apply it on a cut? And also, would it be okay to use after he's had a vaccine? How should I go about applying it if it's fine to use?

I'm wondering if it's safe for my 13-month-old to take gripe water while she's dealing with a throat infection. She's currently on medication for it, and I just want to make sure adding gripe water won't interfere or cause any issues. Could it possibly help soothe her symptoms, or should we steer clear since she's on other meds right now?

No dont give grype water until she is free from infection,istead of grype water you can use neipeptine drops or colicaid ez drops

So, I've been dealing with this fever situation where it's been recurring every 4 weeks. In the first and second weeks, the fever was really high, like between 104.1 and 104.5. We were advised to use Calpol by the doctor. And now, in the 4th week, the fever is back again. I'm really concerned about this pattern. Do you have any thoughts on what might be causing this or what steps we should take next?

That needs details evaluation, visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

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.
