I'm really worried about my 2.5-year-old son. He's been dealing with a cold and cough for a few days, and the pediatrician said it might be WALRI. We started him on clarithromycin and nebulizer treatments, and we're on day three now. When I check his SPO2 while he's asleep, I'm seeing it fluctuate between 89 and 92, and sometimes it jumps to 95 or 96. Is this normal? Should I be concerned about these fluctuations? What should I do next?

I'm really concerned about my 2-month-old son's condition. He's got white patches all over his mouth after drinking milk. I'm not sure if this is something normal or if I need to do something about it. Could you please advise on what might be going on and what steps I should take?

The white patches in your 2-month-old son's mouth, appearing after feeding, are likely thrush, a common fungal infection; consult your pediatrician for a proper diagnosis and guidance, and in the meantime, try to clean the patches gently with a soft cloth and water, and ensure proper sterilization of pacifiers and bottle nipples.

I'm currently down with a fever of 102 degrees and seeing as I'm breastfeeding, I'm a bit anxious about the medications I'm on. I've been prescribed Dolo 650 every 8 hours along with Sinarest in the morning and night, plus Cepodem XP also in the morning and night. Is it safe to take Dolo 650 and Sinarest together while breastfeeding?

Yes you can take it...there is no contraindication of paracetamol during breast feeding
