Parad (Mercury) tablet contamination in jowar flour is a serious concern. _Potential Side Effects_ 1. Mercury poisoning 2. Gastrointestinal problems (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea) 3. Kidney damage 4. Neurological issues (tremors, memory loss, mood changes) _Action Plan_ 1. _Seek medical attention immediately_ for anyone who consumed the contaminated flour. 2. _Do not consume the remaining flour_. Destroy it to prevent further contamination. 3. _Clean and disinfect_ the grinding machine and surrounding area. 4. _Wash hands thoroughly_ after handling the contaminated flour. _Prevention is key_ 1. Store Parad tablets safely, away from food items. 2. Handle and grind food items in a dedicated, clean area.

Question

I'm really concerned about my little one who's almost 1 and a half years old. He's still breastfeeding, but my wife isn't doing well health-wise. She's struggling with depression and is really weak, so she can't keep breastfeeding. We've tried giving our kid food and fruits, but he still cries a lot for his mother's milk and doesn't like drinking regular milk. Could you please give us advice on how to wean him off breastfeeding?

Question

I'm worried because my 14-month-old daughter has had a cold and cough for the last month, and her doctor told us to use Duolin respules in a nebulizer for her. I've heard that this is usually for asthma and other conditions, so I'm not sure if it's the right treatment. Can you give me some advice on this?
