I'm a bit concerned because my baby is 13 months old and I noticed there's no scar or mark from the BCG vaccine she got when she was 6 days old. The doctor is suggesting to give another BCG vaccine. Does this sound safe to you?

View allMy baby boy is 9 months old and he's been having loose motions since last Friday. We saw a pediatrician who recommended giving him Nutrolin B twice a day and a Zinc Dry Powder Suspension once a day. Over the weekend, he had about 7 to 8 stools each day. Today, it's been 5 times so far. What's really worrying me is that his last 3 stools have been dark green in color. Should I be concerned about this? Do you think I should take him back to the pediatrician right away?

Can parents have sex if their child has chicken pox? Are there any risks involved or precautions we should take?
Parents can still have sex when their child has chicken pox, but it is important to take precautions to prevent the spread of the virus. Chicken pox is highly contagious, so it is recommended to avoid direct contact with the child's rash and any fluid from the blisters. It is also important to practice good hand hygiene before and after any contact with the child. As for safe ways for sex, it is advisable to wait until the child is no longer contagious, which is usually once all the blisters have crusted over. Using condoms can also help reduce the risk of transmitting the virus. If either parent has not had chicken pox before or has not been vaccinated, they should take extra precautions to avoid exposure.
