I have a 14-month-old daughter, and since yesterday her palms and feet have been really warm. Her temperature was 102.3, but now it's around 100. She's only got two teeth so far and her gums seem sore. Could this be because of teething? What do you think?

It is possible that your daughter's symptoms are related to teething. To help alleviate her discomfort and reduce her fever, you can give her infant acetaminophen suspension. Consult the medication label or your pediatrician for specific dosing instructions. Additionally, you can provide her with teething toys or a cold washcloth to chew on to help soothe her sore gums. If her symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with her pediatrician for further evaluation.

I've noticed that my nipples are getting swollen, and they're soft to the touch. When I press them, they return to normal for a bit, but then they swell up again after a few minutes. I'm 16, and I'm wondering if this is just a part of puberty or something I should be concerned about. Also, I've felt small clots behind both nipples, but there's no pain. Is this normal?

I've got a little one who's just turned 2 months and 15 days old, and I've heard something about giving babies vitamin D. Is it really necessary for my baby? Also, if it's needed, what other meds should I consider? I had a C-section, and my baby arrived a bit early at 8 months and 15 days, so I want to make sure I'm doing everything right. Any advice on what might be good to take would be appreciated!
