I'm a bit worried about my 3-month-old baby. I've been feeding them both formula milk, specifically Lactogen, and breast milk since they were 2 months old. Everything seemed fine, but lately, I've noticed they've started having greenish stools for about a week now. I'm thinking about switching from Lactogen to Nan Pro. Is it safe to make this change? And why might their stools be green?

Marijuana does not directly affect HIV test results. HIV tests detect antibodies or antigens related to the virus, not substances like marijuana.
However, if you're concerned about your HIV test result or CBC variations, consider the following:
- Window period: HIV tests may not detect the virus if taken too early after exposure. The window period varies depending on the test type.
- Test sensitivity: No test is 100% accurate. False negatives can occur.
- CBC variations: Changes in your CBC results might be unrelated to HIV or marijuana use.
To alleviate your concerns:
- Retest: Consider retesting for HIV after the recommended window period.
- Consult a healthcare professional: Discuss your test results, marijuana use, and any concerns with a doctor or counselor.

View allWhy does fever increase at night?
Normally, core body temperature is low in the morning and increases by few degree by the evening. So, a fever that was slight during the day can easliy spike by the night. Additionally, cortisol releases as a response to infection which is believed to be a protective mechanism against over activation of inflammatory system in the body. During night time, this protective mechanism is missed due to low cortisol levels and fever increases due to activation of inflammatory system.

I'm really worried about my 3-year-old nephew. His CRP levels have been elevated 45 times over the past eight months, even though all his other tests, like the CBC and urine exams, come back normal. His CRP is currently at 20. Before, he would have a fever when the CRP level increased, but this time he's just not eating well and has been vomiting. What could be causing these recurring raised CRP levels? What steps should we take?
