My daughter's been coughing since October and at first, it was just like any normal cough. After three days of this, we took her to see her pediatrician who prescribed some meds and antibiotics. She's basically been on one medication or another since then. We've even seen a few doctors, like a general physician, another pediatrician, and a pulmonologist, but nothing's working. She coughs so much at night that sometimes she ends up vomiting. We're really worried and feel helpless about her health. She's on an inhaler and other meds for her cough and cold right now. Can someone offer any advice for us concerned parents?

View allMy baby has been having a fever since Wednesday, and the doctor gave us Meftal P syrup because her temperature is pretty high. I'm wondering, is it okay to give her the syrup every six hours or every four hours since her fever isn't coming down? I'm really concerned about making sure she's comfortable and getting better.
For children, Meftal P syrup can be given every 6-8 hours as needed for fever. The usual recommended dosage is 7-10 mg per kg of body weight per dose. However, it is important to consult with your doctor for the exact dosage based on your baby's weight and age. Make sure not to exceed the maximum daily dose.

I'm really worried about something my girlfriend told me. Back when she was in 2nd grade, there was this boy just a few months younger than her who tried to have sex with her. She mentioned that he tried to put his penis inside her, but she can't remember if he was actually successful. I'm just trying to understand if that means she lost her virginity back then or not. Is it possible she's still considered a virgin?
The experience your girlfriend described is a traumatic event, and it's essential to prioritize her emotional well-being; regarding virginity, it's a complex and personal concept, but from a medical perspective, if penetration occurred, her hymen might have been damaged, but if penetration didn't occur or was incomplete, her hymen might still be intact, though it's essential to remember that the hymen's state doesn't definitively determine virginity.

I'm really worried about my 10-year-old son's knee pain and swelling. He's been prescribed Disperzyme CD for this, and I haven't started giving it to him yet. Is it safe for him to take the Disperzyme CD for five days?
