I'm really worried about my 6-year-old who has this strange cough that sounds like barking, but there's no mucus involved. It's been more than five days now, and it gets worse at night, especially when she goes to bed, and sometimes it leads to vomiting. We've been giving her Maxtra, Arsinol, and Ziprox antibiotic syrup for five days, but she's still coughing a lot with that heavy sound. I'm not sure if this could be a dry cough from asthma, or maybe croup caused by a virus or bacteria. There's no cold, just the cough. Could you help me figure out what might be causing this?

View allI'm really concerned about my 9-month-old son. He's had these carry bags, or puffiness, under his eyes since he was born. We went to a local clinic today, and the doctor mentioned a few possible issues that have me worried. He said it could be related to his kidneys, allergies, or that his growth isn't quite right. Can you help me understand what might be going on here and what steps we should take next?

I'm worried about my 5-year-old daughter because she had severe vomiting and diarrhea about a week ago. The doctor suggested she take deworming tablets. I'm curious to know when it's absolutely necessary for kids to take these tablets. Do all children with an upset stomach need them? And are there any side effects I should be aware of?

Consult a gynecologist to confirm the pregnancy and discuss options. Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) might be a viable option, but it's essential to follow local laws and regulations. Typically, MTP is allowed up to 12 weeks of gestation. Your wife's pregnancy is likely around 1-2 weeks, considering her period date was on the 23rd.
