A. Both Tuziler and Kufiril IS are medications often prescribed for managing cough, but their suitability depends on the underlying cause of the cough, which can vary (e.g., cold, allergy, infection). For a 4-month-old baby, it is important to: 1. Consult a Pediatrician: Cough in infants can be caused by various factors like viral infections, reflux, or even serious respiratory conditions. Medications should only be given based on a doctor’s evaluation. 2. Avoid Self-Medication: Both medications may have components that might not be appropriate for a baby this young. Cough suppressants or syrups are generally not recommended for infants without a doctor's guidance. 3. Focus on Comfort Measures: Use saline nasal drops for congestion. Use a humidifier in the baby’s room to keep the air moist. Ensure proper hydration with breast milk or formula. If your doctor has prescribed either Tuziler or Kufiril IS, clarify the dosage and administration instructions to ensure the safety of your child. Let me know if you need help understanding the medications further!

Q. My baby screams and cries in his sleep since around 5-6 months of age. Now he is about to turn 18 months and he still cries and gets restless in his sleep. Sometimes when he would cry hysterically i use to wake him up from his sleep and he would become normal in a while. Also you can’t pacify him by sitting and patting. You have to walk around and only then after a while will he be calm. Why is it so? Is this normal in babies? Or do i need to see a paediatrician?
