I'm 4.0 and I'm worried because my height isn't increasing. I'm not sure why this is happening, and I really want to know what I can do about it. Is there something I'm missing or should be doing to help my height grow?

I'm feeling pretty worried because my 6-month-old baby accidentally got a piece of paper in his mouth. I managed to get some of it out, but I'm not sure if he swallowed the rest or if it's still in there. What should I do now? Is there a chance it could cause any harm or should I just keep an eye on him for any symptoms?

Minors ingesting minuscule paper pass them through stools. If the child has any sort of choking, gagging, fast breathing please make sure to go to the local paediatrician.
