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.

my baby has a tongue tie and I'm worried about breastfeeding issues. Is there a quick surgery option that heals in 10 days or any medicine to help with this? I've heard some kids recover fast after treatment but not sure what options are out there
A quick frenectomy (surgical release of the tongue tie) is a minor procedure that can be done in a few minutes and heals within 7-10 days. Consult a pediatric dentist or pediatric ENT specialist.

I'm giving my 18-month-old son Sinarest AF for his cold. I've been giving him 4ml three times a day for the past three days, and he seems to be getting better with it. I'm wondering if it's safe to continue using this medication in the future whenever he catches a cold. Is it okay to keep doing this?
Sinarest-AF is a combination medication that contains Paracetamol, Phenylephrine, and Chlorpheniramine. It is commonly used to relieve symptoms of cold and flu. In children, especially under 2 years old, the safety and efficacy of Phenylephrine and Chlorpheniramine are not well established. It is recommended to consult with a pediatrician before giving Sinarest-AF to children under 2 years old. For cold symptoms in children, it is important to focus on supportive care such as ensuring adequate rest, hydration, and a healthy diet. If your son has cold symptoms in the future, it is best to consult with a pediatrician for appropriate treatment options.
