Consult a gynecologist to confirm the pregnancy and discuss options. Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) might be a viable option, but it's essential to follow local laws and regulations. Typically, MTP is allowed up to 12 weeks of gestation. Your wife's pregnancy is likely around 1-2 weeks, considering her period date was on the 23rd.

I'm really worried about my 6-year-old. He's been having these persistent hiccups for the past three days now. We took him to our regular doctor who didn't find anything wrong, but they just won't stop. He's still really energetic, playing, and eating just fine, but I'm starting to get concerned. Any idea what might be causing this or what we should do next?

Frequent hiccups in children are usually harmless, especially if your son is active and eating well. Persistent hiccups over three days, though, might need further evaluation to rule out irritants like acid reflux or other rare causes. Its worth consulting a pediatrician for a second opinion.

Blankets alone can not increase fever, however, during fever it is suggestbale to use light blankets so that heat dissipation can be effective.

My son has a swollen lymph node on one side of his neck. It doesn't hurt him and there aren't any other symptoms. It's been like this for almost 5 months. We've already seen three doctors who said there's nothing serious, but I'm worried because when I look it up online, I start feeling anxious. Could this be something serious?

That couldbe reactive lymphnode for previos infections and as you say its been 5 months hence it is unusual,visit Pediatrician for evaluation and appropriate management
