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 allI'm really worried because my niece accidentally swallowed a coin yesterday. We had an x-ray done, and it showed that the coin is now in her stomach. The doctor advised us to just wait, but today she went to the bathroom and passed stool, and the coin still hasn't come out. She's acting normally and doing all her usual activities, which is a relief, but I'm still concerned. Should I be doing anything else, or when should I be worried?

I'm really worried because my 12-year-old daughter accidentally swallowed a date seed. I'm not sure if it will pass through her system safely or if we should consider any specific medication to help with digestion. Can you let me know if there's anything I should watch out for or any precautions we should take?
If your daughter has swallowed a date seed, it is likely to pass through her digestive system without causing any issues. However, it is important to monitor her for any signs of abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing, vomiting, or breathing difficulties. Make sure she stays hydrated and eats high-fiber foods to help the seed pass through her system. If she experiences any severe symptoms or if you are concerned, you can give her a mild laxative like Dulcolax to help move the seed through her system.

I'm wondering if my 12-year-old can take Becadexamin. Are there any side effects I should be worried about? And if it's safe, what's the recommended dose for kids that age?
Becadexamin, a combination of betamethasone, dexamethasone, and chlorpheniramine, is generally not recommended for children under 18 years due to potential side effects like growth suppression, adrenal insufficiency, and behavioral changes; however, if prescribed by a doctor, the recommended dose for a 12-year-old child would depend on the specific condition being treated and the child's weight and medical history, so consult a pediatrician
