My child has been dealing with a cough for almost a year now, and we've tried multiple government hospitals, but nothing seems to be working. I can't afford private doctors or medication. Is there anything you suggest we can do?

View allI'm really concerned because my 2-month-old baby, who's exclusively breastfed, has been experiencing loose motions three times a day. Is this normal for her age and diet, or should I be worried about something else going on?
It's possible that your baby is experiencing loose motions due to a mild viral infection, a sensitivity to something in your diet, or even teething. Since shes exclusively breastfed, its important to monitor her hydration and consult with a pediatrician to rule out any underlying causes.

I'm really worried because while my daughter sleeps, she suddenly starts coughing, and it keeps going for a bit. Its concerning since sometimes yellow liquid with bits of food comes out while she's asleep. What could this be? Should I be doing something about it?
That could be GERD vist Gastroenterologist for evaluation and appropriate management.

I'm really worried about my 2-year-old. He caught a cold a couple of days ago and then developed a severe dry cough that same night. Yesterday, his breathing seemed forced; he hardly ate anything all day and drank only a few sips of water. I nebulized him eight times, and today it seems like his breathing's a bit better. Im giving him Bro Zedex syrup and Alex Junior. The last time he had something like this, the doctor had to give him an aminophylline injection followed by nebulization. Do you think just using the nebulization will help this time, and will his condition improve? I'm really worried.
viral infection - maybe pneumonic , start antibiotics
