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 a bit confused and worried about my baby's vaccination schedule. My little one is 10 months old and we got the MMR vaccine done last month. Now, with the government announcing another round of MMR vaccinations, should I take her for this one too? Is it necessary or are we covered with the one we've already done?

no need as she is already vaccinated

I'm really worried about my baby. She's got these white spots on her face and her skin is super dry. I've been using Cetaphil moisturizer, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. What's going on, and what should I do to help her skin get better?

It sounds like your baby may be experiencing a condition called eczema, which can cause dry, itchy skin and white spots. In addition to using a moisturizer like Cetaphil, I recommend using a gentle steroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream on the affected areas twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Make sure to apply a thin layer and avoid the eye area. Also, consider using a mild soap for bathing and keeping the skin well moisturized throughout the day. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and management.
