My little one is 2 years and 2 months old, and I'm thinking about starting Junior Horlicks Stage 1. I'm unsure what the right age is since I noticed that both the Stage 1 and Stage 2 packs mention not giving it to children under 2 years old, but there's no more detailed age info. Could you help me with when might be a good time to start?

u can use mupirocin ointment twice daily if it doesnt gets better ot becoming worse visit your doctor for appropriate treatment.

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?
