Don't worry, swallowing a tooth is generally harmless and rarely causes significant issues; the tooth will likely pass through your digestive system without being digested, and come out intact in your stool within a few days

Question

I'm really concerned about my son. He's always been a very active child, but I'm worried because he started saying a few words at 11 months and then stopped. Now he's 2.6 years old and still isn't speaking. My husband and I both work, so he's usually alone at home. We saw a pediatrician when he was 20 months, and they said we should talk to him more, but it's hard to tell if this is a speech delay or something else. Could you please provide some advice on what we should do next?

I'm a bit worried. I've been using Eytex Kajal to put a bindi on my baby's forehead, and now there's a white spot appearing in that area. I also put a small kajal dot on her cheek, but there are no white spots there. Could you help me understand why this is happening and if there's any medication I can give my 5-month-old baby girl?
