Question

I'm trying to figure out which deworming medication is better for my 5-year-old, Bandy or Bandy Plus. Can you explain the difference between the two? I'm a bit worried about which one is the right choice for my kid.

For a 5-year-old, **Bandy** is generally preferred for deworming, as it contains the standard dosage for children. **Bandy Plus** has additional ingredients that may be used for broader treatment, but it's best to consult a pediatrician for the right choice based on the child's specific needs. Always follow the doctor's recommendation for the safest and most effective option.

Question

My daughter's been running a fever of around 100F every month for the past few months, and it usually sticks around for about 12 days. The doctor has been recommending Combiflame each time, but this time they suggested a CRP test, and the results showed a CRP level of 65. Now she's on antibiotics for 4 days, and they advised another CRP test afterward. How serious is this for her, or is this kind of thing common in kids? We're really worried and could use some clarity.

Question

I'm really struggling with my son when it comes to studying. Every time I ask him to focus on his studies, he starts crying and becomes extremely impatient. It seems like he's not at all interested, and he lacks the patience to learn anything new. Because of this, he isn't able to do things properly and often won't even attempt them. How can I help him become more interested and patient with learning?

Question

My son's eyes are looking really red and they're watering a lot. Could this be due to body heat? Can you suggest some eye drop options, and what can we do to help reduce this?
