I'm a bit worried because my baby was born at 34 weeks and he's now 2 months and 18 days old, but he's not quite recognizing us, especially his mom. He's just started seeing some objects, but not very clearly. When can we expect him to start seeing us properly and responding with a smile?

View allI'm really worried about my 3.5-month-old baby boy. For the past couple of days, his urine has been white, and the analysis shows there's a large amount of amorphous phosphate present. Do you know what might be causing this? Will it gradually get better on its own, or is there something I should be doing about it?
Protein in urine (proteinuria) can be concerning. *Proteinuria Grade:* 4+ indicates severe proteinuria (nephrotic range) *Possible Causes:* 1. Kidney damage or disease (e.g., nephrotic syndrome) 2. Diabetic nephropathy 3. Hypertension 4. Glomerulonephritis 5. Kidney stones 6. Urinary tract infection (UTI) 7. Pregnancy-related issues *Kidney Failure Risk:* Severe proteinuria increases kidney failure risk if left untreated. *Complications:* 1. Nephrotic syndrome 2. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) 3. End-stage renal disease (ESRD) 4. Cardiovascular disease *Immediate Action:* 1. Consult a nephrologist or urologist. 2. Complete urine analysis and culture. 3. Blood tests (renal function, electrolytes, glucose). 4. Imaging studies (ultrasound, CT scan). *Treatment:* Depends on underlying cause, may include: 1. Medications (ACE inhibitors, ARBs) 2. Blood pressure control 3. Diabetes management 4. Lifestyle changes (diet, exercise) 5. Dialysis (in severe cases)

My son has had a fever since yesterday afternoon and I gave him paracetamol, which seemed to help for a bit. This morning, we saw a doctor nearby who advised on cidaflox 100 and macfast syrup. But now, his fever is up to 102. What should I do?
Cidaflox-100: This is an antibiotic (Ciprofloxacin) that is often used for bacterial infections. Ensure that you give the full course as prescribed, even if the fever improves. Don't stop the medication early unless instructed by the doctor. Macfast Syrup: This is typically used to treat gastrointestinal symptoms or inflammation if the fever continues to rise despite medication, or if new symptoms develop (e.g., rash, difficulty breathing, persistent vomiting, severe headache, or persistent pain), consult a doctor immediately. If your son experiences any side effects or signs of an allergic reaction to the medication (such as rashes, swelling, or difficulty breathing), stop the medication and seek medical attention right away.Continue paracetamol as per the prescribed dosage for fever control. Ensure hydration and rest. Monitor symptoms regularly, especially if the fever persists or worsens. Consult the doctor if the fever does not respond to treatment, or if new symptoms develop.

I'm really worried about my 2 and a half-year-old son. He has a cold with a runny nose and sneezing, and he also occasionally gets a fever. Our pediatrician suggested Mucolite Alex Junior for the cold and cough, but it hasn't really helped. We then went to an ENT specialist who said he might have allergies and soft tissue issues, and she recommended Sinarest, Levolin, Gudcef, and Montek LC. I'm feeling really confused about these different medications and what's actually wrong. Could you help me understand what's going on and whether were on the right track with his treatment?
No need to worry and I suggest you to follow ENT doctors advice and give your child warm foods and feed him often
