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 allMy 3-year-old son has had a runny nose and viral fever frequently over the past two years. Weve been to the doctor, and they prescribed some meds, but they don't seem to be working. For his fever, they've given us Ibugesic, and for his cough and cold, they suggested something else. I'm really concerned, could you give us some advice on what else we might try or what could be going on?
It seems your son may have recurrent viral infections, which can sometimes be common in young children due to their developing immune system. I recommend discussing with your pediatrician about further investigations, such as assessing for allergies or other underlying conditions. In the meantime, maintaining good hydration, rest, and using prescribed medications as directed can help manage symptoms.

Is it okay to take Montek LC for a whole month? My doctor told me to, but I'm breastfeeding and just want to make sure it's safe.
Very low levels of montelukast appear in breastmilk. Montelukast is approved for use in children as young as 6 months of age and has been used in neonates in dosages far greater than the amounts in breastmilk. Amounts ingested by the infant would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants No special precautions are required.
