My baby is dealing with a runny nose and weighs about 5.5 kg. Could you suggest the right dose of Maxtra drops for a 7-month-old? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate your guidance.

Question

I'm really concerned about what happens if we don't use cold water pattis on the head during high fevers. Can you explain why this practice is so important? I've heard it's crucial, but I'm not sure exactly how it helps or what the risks are if we skip it. Could you help me understand this better?

Question

I'm really worried about my 5 and a half month old son. Every morning he starts coughing and his doctor recommended using asthalin in a nebulizer three times a day. Last month, we even had to admit him to the hospital because of breathing issues related to his cough, and they treated him with a nebulizer there too. Can you help me understand what's actually going on with my baby? And is asthalin the right choice for him?

I'm concerned about my 2-year-old daughter who weighs about 12 kg. Shes been having constipation and after visiting the doctor, we were advised to give her 7.5 ml of Smuth Syrup every night. Is this dosage appropriate for a child her age? I'm a bit worried and just want to make sure its safe for her.
