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?

I've been experiencing a lot of discomfort due to worms in my anus, especially at night, and it's been going on for over 10 days now. Are there any home remedies that could help with this?

You may be experiencing symptoms of pinworm infection. For this condition, you can try using over-the-counter medication like Albendazole. The usual dosage for Albendazole in adults is a single dose of 400mg. It is important to follow the instructions on the package insert or as directed by your healthcare provider. Additionally, maintaining good hygiene practices such as washing hands regularly, keeping nails short, and washing bedding and clothing frequently can help prevent the spread of the infection.
