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?

I'm in Bangalore and I'm having trouble finding Otostar drops, which I've been using to clean my 7-month-old baby's ears. One of the stores here suggested I use Otorex instead. Is it safe to use Otorex for my baby's ears? I'm a bit worried and would really appreciate your advice.

I'm really worried about my little boy. He's 2 years and 6 months and has been having a rough time with a persistent cough. He recently got over a fever, which was a relief, but now I'm not sure which cough syrup would be best for him. Could you help me figure out what's suitable for his age?

For your son's cough, you can consider giving him syrup brands like Benadryl, Tixylix, or Ascoril.

Can a 7 year old get pregnant?

A woman can get pregnant and have a baby as soon as she begins ovulating, or producing eggs. This typically occurs about a year after they first begin menstruating, which usually happens between the ages of 11 and 12. Some women start ovulating late, though, and others, extremely early.
