I'm really worried about my 5-year-old. He's got these prominent bronchovascular markings, and his ESR is at 13. Is this serious? He's been coughing non-stop and always seems to have a fever. His recent blood test shows an absolute lymphocyte count of 5500 and a monocyte count of 9. We've been giving him normal flu medicines and using a nebulizer, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Could it be some kind of allergy?

My baby is only a month old and has a nose block which makes it hard for him to breathe. I am worried about him and want to know if it's okay to use Nasivion 0.025 for a little one his age. The doctor said to use Nasoclear, but I couldn't find it anywhere. What should I do? Can you recommend anything else that's safe?

My 10-year-old daughter had a fever, which thankfully went away after she took cefprozil, Alex PBifilac, and Pritexylls junior. However, she's still dealing with a really annoying dry cough, especially at night, which is making it hard for her to sleep well. We started giving her Kasnajiva and SeptilinhIMALAYA yesterday, but the cough hasn't improved much. Do you have any suggestions on what we should do next or if there's something else we could try? I'm really worried about her lack of sleep.

Continue same treatment for 5 days is advised to the patient.

Hey! So, I got Cepodem 100 syrup for my kid, but the pharmacist gave us Monocef O syrup instead. Are these two the same thing? Can I use either one for my son without any worries?
