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.

My little one has a stuffy nose and a bit of a cough. She's just 5 months old. I'm thinking of giving her mucolite and maxtra, both at the same time, but I'm not sure if that's okay. The dosage I've got is 0.6 ml. Is that alright for her age?

Yes you can give it no problem.

I've got both Jusdee 400 drops and Kidrich D3 drops at home. Should I be giving my child just one of these or can I use both? Which one would be the better choice? I'm a bit unsure about what to do.

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

How do you bring down a fever?

Fever is just a symptom of any underlying infection or inflammation and it will come down only when the cause is treated. Cold water either in the form of drinking or tepid sponging helps in controlling core body temperature in fever.
