My child has been diagnosed with childhood asthma and it's really worrying me. He wheezes constantly and the treatment doesn't seem to be helping. It seems to get worse in the evenings, but the wheeze is always there no matter what. I use a nebuliser with Asthavent but it doesn't seem to ease the wheezing at all. The strange thing is, when he lies down, the wheezing disappears. He's even been hospitalized for respiratory distress before. What can I do or try next? I'm really concerned about his condition.

Can I give my 10-year-old son the dynapar tablet more than three times a day for his ear pain? Are there any side effects I should be worried about?

It's not safe to give Dynapar more than 3 times a day for a 10-year-old, as it may cause side effects like stomach irritation or kidney issues. Stick to the prescribed dosage, and if the pain persists, consult a doctor for further guidance.

My daughter's been running a fever of around 100F every month for the past few months, and it usually sticks around for about 12 days. The doctor has been recommending Combiflame each time, but this time they suggested a CRP test, and the results showed a CRP level of 65. Now she's on antibiotics for 4 days, and they advised another CRP test afterward. How serious is this for her, or is this kind of thing common in kids? We're really worried and could use some clarity.

A CRP level of 65 indicates a moderate to high level of inflammation in the body. The antibiotics prescribed by the doctor are aimed at treating the possible bacterial infection. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed and follow up with the doctor for the repeat CRP test to monitor the response to treatment. Given the situation, it is essential to follow the doctor's advice closely, complete the course of antibiotics, and monitor your daughter's symptoms. If there are any concerning symptoms or if the fever persists, do not hesitate to contact your doctor for further evaluation and management.
