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?

I'm really worried about my 4-year-old daughter. Her latest urine test showed pus cells at 25-30 and epithelial cells at 34. About a year and a half ago, she had a mild urinary tract infection. How serious is her current situation? Should I be concerned about these numbers?

I'm really worried about my son. He got tested positive for TB a couple of months back. He had a cough and fever then, and hes also been dealing with asthma and diarrhea for about two months. So, the doctor said its TB, IBD, and asthma, and hes on medication for all of it. Just last week, he had a mild fever and dry cough again, and now he's positive for COVID. I'm really confused about when he'll be eligible for the COVID vaccine and if it's safe for him to go back to school without it. Can you advise on what steps we should take next?

My little one is 15 months old and she seems to catch colds really easily. At first, the doctor suggested using a steamer for hot steam, but I'm worried about her getting burned. Then, another doctor recommended using a nebulizer with saline water, which gives cold steam. I'm a bit confused. Which method would give her better relief, or do they both work the same way?

Both steam inhalation and nebulization with saline can help manage cold symptoms, Nebulization is typically safer
