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?

Can I use a cream with salicylic acid in the morning and a cleanser with salicylic acid at night? Would it be too much for my skin? I'm really curious if combining them might irritate my skin or if it's safe to do both. What do you think?

it would cause mild burns or rashes so try to include it slowly to your skincare starting with facewash
