I'm really worried because my 2-year-old just swallowed an apricot seed. I've heard from someone that giving him bananas and sabudana kheer might help. Is that true, and is there anything else I should be doing right now? What's the best way to handle this?
If your baby has swallowed an apricot seed, it's important to stay calm. Monitor for any signs of discomfort, choking, or difficulty breathing. Feeding bananas or sabudana kheer may help soften the stool, but if there are any concerns or signs of distress, please seek immediate medical attention.

I'm really concerned about my 2.5-year-old son who seems to be having a lot of weather change allergies. Our doctor often prescribes him nebulization with Duolin and saline water. I'm just wondering if there are any major side effects we should look out for? Also, with all the pollution here in Gurgaon, do you think plain saline nebulization every day could be actually helpful for him?
