Subcostal retractions

Hi, my baby ( birth weight 3.2 kg) is now 6 months old. He weighs 8.8 kg & has good height. From 4 months onwards I noticed subcostal retractions between his chest & stomach. This happened after he caught a viral cough/cold from his toddler sister. His breathing rate is otherwise normal, feeds/poops normally, and is active playful infant. But there is noisy breathing and subcostal retractions when he Inhales. One pediatrician said he has laryngomalacia, and another said he has MTW ( multiple trigger wheeze). I am so confused. He doesn't have cough/ cold, but his breathing sounds like nose block and mild retractions are almost always there. Pls advise me what can be the reason?

Breathing problem

My child is 3 years and 1 month old. When he is sleeping, his breathing rate is usually between 18 and 20 breaths per minute every time I did check up , and his breathing appears normal and comfortable during sleep. After he wakes up, when he is awake and calm, I checked his breathing rate and it is usually between 25 and 29 breaths per minute, again all time  I did check up Is this breathing rate normal for a healthy 3-year-old child? Why slow during sleeping .. should he need any evaluation

Fever + runny nose + hoarse voice

My baby is 11.5 months old, weighs ~8.6 kg. Fever around 38°C, which comes down after paracetamol but returns after its effect wears off. Baby has a runny nose and initially had 3–4 loose stools, but stools are now normal. Since yesterday, the baby's cry has become hoarse and there is mild “kharr-kharr” noisy breathing even during sleep. Baby is feeding and urinating normally. Please advise whether this is likely a viral infection, laryngitis/croup, or something else, and what treatment is needed. Is Solvin Cold safe at this age?

Vaccination

Hi doctor. My baby is 2 months 10 days old and his 2nd dose of vaccine at 10 weeks is on August 11th. At 6 weeks, we got him vaccinated (hexaxim) painless. Is it ok to go for regular vaccine this time, which is pentavalent version. Will it cause any concern? Or should I go for painless only as I started with that at 6 weeks?. Please help me

Hearing concern for 6 months old

My baby is 6 months old. From the past few weeks I have noticed mustard yellow/orange ear wax coming out of her ear, and yesterday I saw a small amount of black wax. She has also been pulling her ears frequently, but she is teething, so I’m unsure if it’s related. Over the past 7–8 days, she has stopped consistently responding to her name, although she still reacts to some sounds and ignores others. This sudden change worries me. Her motor milestones are progressing well—she has started sitting independently since past 15-16 days (still slightly wobbly), gets on all fours, goes into a plank position, tries to crawl, and rolls both ways (tummy to back started recently). Could ear wax cause reduced hearing or inconsistent responses or is it normal for babies this age to seem less responsive while focusing on motor milestones. Should I be concerned about a hearing problem and consult a pediatric ENT?
