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 wondering about what's happening with my 6-month-old baby. We've been putting coconut oil in his ears every day, and now it seems like there's this wax-like substance covering them. Should we keep doing this, or is it something we should stop?
No you are harming the baby, visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management.

I'm really struggling with my son when it comes to studying. Every time I ask him to focus on his studies, he starts crying and becomes extremely impatient. It seems like he's not at all interested, and he lacks the patience to learn anything new. Because of this, he isn't able to do things properly and often won't even attempt them. How can I help him become more interested and patient with learning?

I'm really worried about my 2-year-old son. He had surgery on his head a few weeks ago, and the doctor prescribed him 5ml of Advent twice a day. Now it's been about three weeks post-surgery, and today he's having really bad diarrhea and headaches. I've tried giving him oranges to help, but I'm not sure if that's enough. Can you give me some advice on what I should do next?
Stop advent, diarrhoea is its side effect.
