Question

I'm feeling pretty worried because my 6-month-old baby accidentally got a piece of paper in his mouth. I managed to get some of it out, but I'm not sure if he swallowed the rest or if it's still in there. What should I do now? Is there a chance it could cause any harm or should I just keep an eye on him for any symptoms?

Minors ingesting minuscule paper pass them through stools. If the child has any sort of choking, gagging, fast breathing please make sure to go to the local paediatrician.

Is it safe to take Dolo 650 and Sinarest together while breastfeeding?

I'm worried because my 7-year-old has been dealing with asthma, and we've been using Foracort 200 mg and Montek LC for their treatment. I'm wondering if there are any other medication options we could consider. Can these medicines be changed or adjusted for a child of this age?
