Question

I'm really concerned about my baby who's just 2 months old. My in-laws keep giving him a honey nipple whenever he cries at night. I'm worried he might be getting used to it or needs it to calm down instead of naturally settling. Could there be any side effects from him suckling on a honey nipple? And how can I help him break this habit if it's not good for him?

Question

I'm really worried about my 8-year-old daughter. She had COVID back in September and then pneumonia in November, which got her hospitalized. We managed to get her treated, but now, in mid-February, she's come down with a fever, cold, and wet cough again. Our pediatrician did an X-ray and it's pneumonia once more, and they mentioned it's viral. We've been taking such good care of her since November, so I'm just so confused as to why it's happening again. Do you think she needs more tests or investigations to figure this out? What should we do next?

Question

My son has a swollen lymph node on one side of his neck. It doesn't hurt him and there aren't any other symptoms. It's been like this for almost 5 months. We've already seen three doctors who said there's nothing serious, but I'm worried because when I look it up online, I start feeling anxious. Could this be something serious?
