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 have a 14-month-old daughter, and since yesterday her palms and feet have been really warm. Her temperature was 102.3, but now it's around 100. She's only got two teeth so far and her gums seem sore. Could this be because of teething? What do you think?

It is possible that your daughter's symptoms are related to teething. To help alleviate her discomfort and reduce her fever, you can give her infant acetaminophen suspension. Consult the medication label or your pediatrician for specific dosing instructions. Additionally, you can provide her with teething toys or a cold washcloth to chew on to help soothe her sore gums. If her symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with her pediatrician for further evaluation.

my 5-month-old baby weighs 6.5 kg and needs to gain weight for her cleft palate surgery right now she's on formula milk around 800ml daily plus some ragi porridge and occasional breast milk since my supply is low i try feeding her 90ml every 2 hours but she refuses to take 150ml at once like the doctor suggested what else can i feed her to help her gain weight faster

Every child is different. One child may take 90ml every 2 hours and one child may take 180ml and remain full for 4 to 6 hours. So need not worry. Also weight gain is good. Continue what you are doing and don't force feed.

My 4-month-old baby boy has redness and pus near the tip of his penis. He was diagnosed with hypospadias but surgery was postponed because of his age. What could be causing this infection and how can we manage it at home until he's old enough for surgery?

dermat opinion is advised.
