Parents often wonder when to use a nebulizer and when to give their child steam therapy, especially during the winter months when coughs and colds are common. Pediatrician Dr. Sandeep Gupta explains the differences, benefits, and proper usage of both methods.

Nebulizers are particularly recommended for conditions like asthma, bronchiolitis, bronchitis, and wheezing, providing relief in the lower airways. Steam Therapy: Comfort for Nose and ThroatSteam, created by boiling water, produces larger particles that only reach the upper respiratory tract—nose and throa...

In North India, it’s hard to imagine a meal without wheat rotis—one of the most commonly consumed staples.
