How to manage a kid with an autism spectrum disorder?

Hi doctor,

My son has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Now he is on speech and occupational therapy for laryngomalacia and taking Risperidone 0.5 ml daily. Since last week, he has been crying during his speech sessions and also not responding to them. However, when the session finishes, he will be happy and say, "Let us go home." Is it normal for him?

What is the risk of developing autism disorder in a premature baby?

Hello doctor,

I am a mother to a newborn infant. He is a premature baby. I had to undergo an emergency C-section. I had serious health issues during my pregnancy as well. I want to know if my pregnancy health and my son being born prematurely can affect his mental growth. Is it possible this can contribute to him having autistic spectrum disorders? He is still in the NICU for another two weeks.

Please help.

Is any checkup needed for a cold and cough in a baby?

Hello doctor,

My 2-month-old baby girl child is suffering from cold for the past four days. There is a very little bit of coughing occasionally. There are some wheeziness from the nose also. She is moving her neck very often to both sides. I used Mucolite drops eight drops BD, Etolin PD syrup - 1.5 ml BD, and saline nasal drops. I used Sinarest AF drop for two days and stopped now. Please suggest to me is there any need for a diagnostic check up? What these symptoms could be?
