I'm a bit worried. I've been using Eytex Kajal to put a bindi on my baby's forehead, and now there's a white spot appearing in that area. I also put a small kajal dot on her cheek, but there are no white spots there. Could you help me understand why this is happening and if there's any medication I can give my 5-month-old baby girl?

The white spot that has appeared on your baby's forehead may be a reaction to the ingredients in the kajal. It is possible that the skin on the forehead is more sensitive compared to the cheek, which is why the white spot only appeared in that area. I recommend stopping the use of the eyetex kajal on your baby's forehead to see if the white spot improves. You can apply a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil lotion on the affected area to help soothe the skin. If the white spot does not improve or if it worsens, please consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and management.

My daughter's been dealing with cough, cold, and fever since yesterday morning, and her fever spikes up to 101 degrees. When we give her Dolo or Ibugesic syrup, the fever drops but comes back after about 6 hours. She also experiences chills before the fever returns. We've been giving her Timnic for the cold and Tycklix for the cough. Can you tell me how long it might take for her to stabilize? Should we be thinking about antibiotics now? Just last week, she had stomach issues and fever, and was on Rantac and Azee syrup for that. What should we do?
Considering the symptoms of persistent fever with chills, it is advisable to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation. Antibiotics may be considered if there are signs of a bacterial infection, such as prolonged fever or worsening symptoms. It is important to complete the course of antibiotics as prescribed by the doctor. In the meantime, continue with the current medications for cold and cough as directed. If the fever persists or worsens, seek medical attention promptly.
