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 worried about my 7-month-old baby. I was giving her enterogermina oral suspension, and some of the drops accidentally got into her eyes. We quickly washed her eyes with water, but I'm still concerned. Is that going to be okay, or could it cause any harm?

I'm really worried about my 4-year-old daughter's ear pain. We already saw a doctor, and they gave us some drops to put in her ear, mentioning there was an infection or fungus. I followed the instructions, but she's still complaining of pain. Could you let me know why this might be happening? Is there anything else I should try or be looking out for?
