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'm really concerned about my 10-month-old baby. Her head feels warm but her hands and body are either normal or kind of cold. She's also experiencing constant diarrhea and vomiting. Do you have any advice on what this could be or what I should do for her?

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?

My 3-year-old has had a fever, cough, and cold since last Saturday, and I've been giving him Crocin, Augmentin DDS, and Amrox Junior. But he still seems to have the same symptoms. I'm really worried and not sure what else to do. Can you suggest any changes or next steps?

Cold is caused by a virus. Antibiotics will not help.
