hello,
some children are prone for seasonal weather changes, and sneezing can be a symptom for his allergic type.
if the child has runny nose, a nasal decongestion Otrivin nasal drops 1 drop Both nostrils , is helpful.
Since parent is having episodic asthama, child may be investigated for the same using PEFR at any pediatric hospital.
recurrant cold can be treated symptomatically with Tab. Sinarest 1/2 tab thrice a day .

Looks like allergic rhinitis, is related to asthma.
Avoid triggers like dust, mites, pets, pollen and someone smoking in house.
Your doctor may prescribe steroid nasal spray for 5-10 days, if severe - despite antihistamines, decongestant.
You may try frequent nasal rinsing with normal saline.

My father is 78 years old and has been suffering from constipation for the last 2 years. He has also lost a lot of weight around 10 kgs in this time span. In the last couple of months he has been complaining that his abdominal muscles have torn due to bowel straining and now he says there is loss of muscle in his stomach area. Which is why when he lies down everything is fine but when he sits up and walks around he feels like he is carrying a weight in his stomach. After intake of food it becomes worse and he also gets bloating. We have done all possible tests - colonoscopy, CT scan, ultrasound sometime last year and everything was clear. The doctors gave a verdict of idiopathic constipation and left it at that. His blood work is fine, haemoglobin levels, cholestrol etc. He still suffers from constipation. His prostrate is enlarged but results are fine. What is the solution to his stomach muscle problem ? Is it lack of exercise, lack of protein ? He doesnt have a pot belly and has never had and had always been physically active and fairly slender.

  Doctor's Answer

Hi, I would like to ask you what do you mean by word slow heart beat because it might mean a little different medically. Usually inhalers are responsible for tachycardia(fast heart rate than slow),specially the drug taken by you. These are very common drugs that might cause you to have a little bit of tremors and might cause you to feel that you are feeling your heart beat,or it might also cause headache,dizziness,or may be vomiting. I believe you can ask your physician to change your inhaler ...

hi..my son is having tonsils and adenoid problem.He is four years old. We are taking antibiotic every time. but after some two months he is getting again.But this year only he got this problem. Milk can make tonsils to swollen and infect? can you please tell me the solution and remedy?

  Doctor's Answer

Hi, This was an old saying that tonsils might be caused by milk products but this is just a saying. However I have never read any such thing and infact it is advisable to have diet which relaxes your throat( may be ice cream,or any cold fluid,and food which is simple and non spicy ) . Children might have infection several time in age between 3-8 years specially because they at this age join school or preschool and they meet many other children and carry infection. This infection many a times ...
