View allI'm a bit anxious about my baby boy who's almost 4 months old. He's been having frequent small bowel movements, and I've been giving him Bifilac sachets to help. Is it okay to keep using Bifilac regularly? Is it safe for him?
While Bifilac is generally considered safe for infants, long-term or repeated use without medical supervision can lead to an imbalance of gut flora or dependency on probiotics; consult your pediatrician before continuing Bifilac sachets, as they may recommend alternative probiotics, dietary changes, or investigate underlying causes of frequent small motions

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.
A CRP level of 65 indicates a moderate to high level of inflammation in the body. The antibiotics prescribed by the doctor are aimed at treating the possible bacterial infection. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed and follow up with the doctor for the repeat CRP test to monitor the response to treatment. Given the situation, it is essential to follow the doctor's advice closely, complete the course of antibiotics, and monitor your daughter's symptoms. If there are any concerning symptoms or if the fever persists, do not hesitate to contact your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been experiencing a lot of discomfort due to worms in my anus, especially at night, and it's been going on for over 10 days now. Are there any home remedies that could help with this?
You may be experiencing symptoms of pinworm infection. For this condition, you can try using over-the-counter medication like Albendazole. The usual dosage for Albendazole in adults is a single dose of 400mg. It is important to follow the instructions on the package insert or as directed by your healthcare provider. Additionally, maintaining good hygiene practices such as washing hands regularly, keeping nails short, and washing bedding and clothing frequently can help prevent the spread of the infection.
