I'm really concerned about my 2.5-year-old son who seems to be having a lot of weather change allergies. Our doctor often prescribes him nebulization with Duolin and saline water. I'm just wondering if there are any major side effects we should look out for? Also, with all the pollution here in Gurgaon, do you think plain saline nebulization every day could be actually helpful for him?

My son has one testicle that hasn't descended and the doctor recommended surgery to remove the undescended one. Is there any homeopathic treatment that can help with this instead? We're based in Hyderabad and looking for alternatives before going for surgery.
