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?

My 3-year-old is very active but someone mentioned they might have tonsils. How can we treat tonsils without surgery since the baby seems fine otherwise?

Tonsils only need surgery if recurrent infections or breathing issues‚Äîmonitor and use home care if mild.

I'm really concerned about my 6-year-old who's been dealing with an allergic cough for the past 4 years. Sometimes it gets really frequent, like every 20 to 30 days, and it seems to get worse at night, between midnight and 4 AM. There have been instances of vomiting, and our doctor mentioned something about bilateral wheeze and said it was moderate. They suggested we nebulize both in the morning and evening. Does this sound like a typical treatment plan for these symptoms? Are there any other options we should consider?

avoid allergens
