I'm really worried about my little one. He had pneumonia when he was just 9 months old, and since then he keeps getting sick every few weeks, like every 23 weeks or so. Now he's got a fever and cold, and he's coughing with wheezing again. Is there a pattern here, or something we should be doing differently? This keeps happening, and I feel like I'm missing something important. Would love your advice on what steps to take next.

View allIs it okay to give Sizodon syrup to my 3.5-year-old who has autism? The doctor recommended it for his hyperactivity, and he's been on it for the past six months. I'm worried and don't really want to continue with it. If I stop the syrup, will there be any side effects, or should I just keep going with it? I'm really looking for advice on this.
Stopping the medication abruptly can lead to withdrawal symptoms or a return of the symptoms for which the medication was prescribed (hyperactivity, agitation). It's essential to consult with your doctor before stopping Sizodon. A healthcare provider may suggest gradual tapering off the medication to avoid withdrawal effects and to reassess the management of your child's symptoms.

Can parents have sex if their child has chicken pox? Are there any risks involved or precautions we should take?
Parents can still have sex when their child has chicken pox, but it is important to take precautions to prevent the spread of the virus. Chicken pox is highly contagious, so it is recommended to avoid direct contact with the child's rash and any fluid from the blisters. It is also important to practice good hand hygiene before and after any contact with the child. As for safe ways for sex, it is advisable to wait until the child is no longer contagious, which is usually once all the blisters have crusted over. Using condoms can also help reduce the risk of transmitting the virus. If either parent has not had chicken pox before or has not been vaccinated, they should take extra precautions to avoid exposure.
