I'm really worried about my five-month-old son. He's been dealing with asthma since he was two months old, and our doctor has him on Budecort 100 inhaler and Salbair transhaler, two times a day. I'm concerned, thoughare these meds safe to use every single day? And how long are we supposed to keep this up?

I'm really concerned about using Practin syrup for loss of appetite. Could it actually lead to side effects like hair loss, hair whitening, or even skin blackening? Is there any truth to these worries?

I'm worried because I noticed this white thembal thing on my baby's face. Is this some kind of infection, or could it just be normal for infants? What should I do to treat it?

It sounds like your infant may have oral thrush, which is a common fungal infection in infants. The best treatment for oral thrush in infants is usually an antifungal medication called Nystatin oral suspension. You can apply a small amount to the inside of your baby's mouth several times a day. It's important to continue the treatment for the full course prescribed by your doctor, usually around 7-14 days, even if the symptoms improve before then. Additionally, make sure to sterilize pacifiers, bottle nipples, and any other items that may come into contact with your baby's mouth to prevent reinfection.
