My little girl is 7 months and a few days old, and she weighs 8.8 kg. She's been having this dry cough, especially noticeable when she sleeps, but otherwise, she's doing great. When she was around 5 months, the doctor recommended maxtra syrup for her cough. Is it okay for me to give her the maxtra syrup now, and if so, what's the appropriate dose for her weight?

That could be due to allergy,try to identify the allergen and avoid it, visit Pediatrician for evaluation and appropriate management and corrected dose and frequency

View allI'm really worried about my 2-year-old. He caught a cold a couple of days ago and then developed a severe dry cough that same night. Yesterday, his breathing seemed forced; he hardly ate anything all day and drank only a few sips of water. I nebulized him eight times, and today it seems like his breathing's a bit better. Im giving him Bro Zedex syrup and Alex Junior. The last time he had something like this, the doctor had to give him an aminophylline injection followed by nebulization. Do you think just using the nebulization will help this time, and will his condition improve? I'm really worried.
viral infection - maybe pneumonic , start antibiotics

I'm trying to figure out how much milk my 2.7-year-old son should be drinking. He weighs 13.7 kg. Also, I'm curious if there are any specific health drinks you'd recommend and how often or how much he should have them. And by the way, is it alright to add a bit of sugar to things like idly or curd for him at this age?

I'm a mom to twin babies, and I'm having trouble with producing enough milk. The doctor suggested trying formula and mentioned Nan Pro. I'm feeling a bit stuck on whether I should go with Nan Pro or Nan Exella Pro. Which one would be better? Could you help me figure this out?
