Question

I accidentally swallowed a piece of chewing gum while sitting, but right now I feel completely normal. Should I be worried or need to see a doctor, or is it usually not a big deal?

Question

I'm really worried about my baby. She's got these white spots on her face and her skin is super dry. I've been using Cetaphil moisturizer, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. What's going on, and what should I do to help her skin get better?

Question

I'm really worried about my 16-month-old. She started vomiting and then having watery poo a few days ago. On Sunday, she threw up about 5 to 6 times from 6 pm to 10:30 pm, so we gave her 2.5 ml of ondem syrup, and it seemed to stop the vomiting. But on Monday, she started having loose motions pretty soon after eating, like within 15 to 20 minutes, and it happened more than 10 times. By Tuesday, her poo was just watery once, and she seemed okay. But then on Wednesday morning, after breastfeeding, she vomited twice and she's been refusing to eat anything. Plus, she's had more than 8 episodes of watery poo and cries every time she goes. The crying during poo is worrying me. How can I help stop the vomiting and loose stools and maybe get her to eat something? It's been tough seeing her like this.

Question

My little one had a fever since Sunday and while shes getting better, it seems like her throat might be infected now. Her voice is super low, almost like she's whispering. Do you have any quick advice for me? Shes only 3.5 years old and isnt a fan of turmeric milk or salt water. What can I do?
