I'm worried because my 7-year-old has been dealing with asthma, and we've been using Foracort 200 mg and Montek LC for their treatment. I'm wondering if there are any other medication options we could consider. Can these medicines be changed or adjusted for a child of this age? I'm really hoping to find the best solution to help manage the asthma symptoms better.

I'm wondering if it's safe for my 13-month-old to take gripe water while she's dealing with a throat infection. She's currently on medication for it, and I just want to make sure adding gripe water won't interfere or cause any issues. Could it possibly help soothe her symptoms, or should we steer clear since she's on other meds right now?

No dont give grype water until she is free from infection,istead of grype water you can use neipeptine drops or colicaid ez drops

I'm really worried because Sidrah has been dealing with a cold and cough for the past three days. It's more of a wet cough. I've been giving her Relent plus for two days and started Asthakind DX yesterday. Could you give me some advice on how to help her get better?

She seems to be suffering from common cold which is a common type of nose and throat virus infection. Usually it will resolve on its own within few days. You can continue giving medications. No specific treatment is really needed. Self medications are better avoided
