Question

My daughter just turned 4 months old and she's been running a fever around 98.9 to 99.7 for 12 days now. I've been giving her Fepanil drops and Macpod since day one of the fever, but it hasnt gone away. Should I be worried?

Question

I'm really worried about my 9-year-old daughter. She fell down the stairs and hurt her back. It's swollen about 3 cm above the base of her spine, and she's complaining about pain in her knees, even though she didn't hit them. She also feels pain in her back when she lifts small things like her iPad. We've been using an ice pack on the swollen area, and she's lying on her belly right now. She can still walk and sit, but her back is very painful. The swelling is starting to go down a bit. I'm worried and not sure what to do next or what to watch out for. Could this lead to something serious? What should I be looking out for?

Question

My baby just turned 5 months and 6 days old. I'm wondering if it's a good time to start introducing Cerelac as a supplement. Also, could you advise me on which formula to buy? I'm trying to make sure I'm making the right choices.
