I'm really worried about my 1-year-9-month-old who's been showing signs of pneumonia. The doctor already gave her a dose of nebulization and some antibiotics, but she's still in pain and having trouble breathing. Is it okay if I give her a second dose of nebulization after four hours?

My 2-month-old baby has two tiny skin tags on his left ear, each about the size of a pinhead. Can homeopathy help with this, or is surgery the only option? I'm a bit concerned about what's best for his little ear.

Please visit your pediatrician first for examination of your child

I'm a bit concerned because my baby is 13 months old and I noticed there's no scar or mark from the BCG vaccine she got when she was 6 days old. The doctor is suggesting to give another BCG vaccine. Does this sound safe to you?

My child was given 4 ml of Ondem syrup for vomiting, and after 6 hours, we gave the syrup again. But this time, he got really itchy and his lower lip started to swell up. Can you help me understand what might have gone wrong and what we should do now? This has me pretty worried.
