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?

I'm worried about my 5-year-old daughter because she had severe vomiting and diarrhea about a week ago. The doctor suggested she take deworming tablets. I'm curious to know when it's absolutely necessary for kids to take these tablets. Do all children with an upset stomach need them? And are there any side effects I should be aware of?
you can take it
