I'm really worried about my 5 and a half month old son. Every morning he starts coughing and his doctor recommended using asthalin in a nebulizer three times a day. Last month, we even had to admit him to the hospital because of breathing issues related to his cough, and they treated him with a nebulizer there too. Can you help me understand what's actually going on with my baby? And is asthalin the right choice for him?

It seems like your baby may be experiencing recurrent respiratory issues, possibly asthma or a similar condition that affects the airways, causing cough and breathing difficulty. Asthalin in a nebulizer can help relax the muscles in the airways, easing his breathing, but it's important to monitor his response and follow up regularly with your doctor for any adjustments in treatment.

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 wondering if there could be an issue if we end up using Duolin and Budecort nebulization for more days than the doctor suggested. Also, when using the nebulizer, is it better to breathe through the nose or the mouth?
Taking Duolin and Budecort nebulization for more days than prescribed can lead to overuse, causing paradoxical bronchospasm, tremors, palpitations, and other systemic side effects; it's essential to adhere to the prescribed duration and consult your doctor if symptoms persist, and breathe in the nebulized medication through your mouth, with your lips sealed tightly around the mouthpiece.
