I'm a bit worried about my family member. He had a cold on the 14th and 15th, and then on the 16th, he started having a fever along with a headache and pain in both legs, which kept him up all night. Whenever he gets a fever, his legs usually hurt too. Weve been giving him crosin and other meds as advised by a clinic doctor. He seemed okay this morning, but now the pain is back. Hes really sensitive, so Im looking for guidance on how to help him feel better. What do you think we should do?

View allI'm really concerned about my son. He's having skin itching but there aren't any rashes. He's been scratching his head, arm, behind his neck, and foot, and there hasn't been any fever or infection recently. I've noticed his appetite seems to be increasing all of a sudden, and he sometimes complains of abdominal pain. I discovered white particles in his stool, but I did deworm him last month. Right now, he's on an antihistamine. This same kind of itching happened last year, and he was advised to take Banocide syrup along with the antihistamine, and it took almost a month to clear up. I'm really worried. What could be causing this, and what should I give him for the itching and abdominal pain?
Thats Urticaria,identify the allergen and avoid it,also visit dermatologist for appropriate management

refrain from feeding your baby for 24 hrs and later you can feed,even if feed also there is no serious complications for the baby.

I'm really concerned about my 4-year-old son. I've noticed that some family members tend to give Brandy to kids, even those younger than him, when they have a cough or cold. I've seen the warning labels on Brandy bottles, so I'm a bit confused and worried. Is it really okay to give Brandy to a kid for a cough or cold? What could be the negative effects, if any, on a child?
Brandy is not recommended for children, especially at such a young age. It can have harmful effects on their developing bodies. Instead, you can give your child over-the-counter medications like Children's Tylenol or Children's Motrin for relief from cough and cold symptoms. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage based on your child's weight and age.
