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.

View allI'm trying to figure out which deworming medication is better for my 5-year-old, Bandy or Bandy Plus. Can you explain the difference between the two? I'm a bit worried about which one is the right choice for my kid.
For a 5-year-old, **Bandy** is generally preferred for deworming, as it contains the standard dosage for children. **Bandy Plus** has additional ingredients that may be used for broader treatment, but it's best to consult a pediatrician for the right choice based on the child's specific needs. Always follow the doctor's recommendation for the safest and most effective option.

I'm really concerned about using Practin syrup for loss of appetite. Could it actually lead to side effects like hair loss, hair whitening, or even skin blackening? Is there any truth to these worries?
