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've been dealing with chickenpox since yesterday, and my doctor told me to get some rest and prescribed HERPERAX 800. But when I went to the pharmacy, they gave me something called Herpikind instead. I'm really wondering, are these two medications basically the same when it comes to treating chickenpox?

I can understand your concern well. You need not worry at all. I can surely help you in this regard.But, for the best advise specific to you, I need to know some important medical history that's required in your case.

My baby is 64 days old and sleeps through the night from 11 pm to 6 am without waking for feeds. His last feed is around 10:30 pm. During the day, he feeds on demand and stays active with good urine output, though he poops every alternate day. We're doing mixed feeding mostly pumped milk with formula only when needed. He had a lip and tongue tie release surgery 10 days ago and takes about 7-9 feeds per day. Should I wake him at night to feed or is it okay to let him sleep since he's gaining well and active during the day

let him sleep
