I'm currently breastfeeding my 4-month-old baby and I've been experiencing really severe body aches and feel like I have a fever. Is it safe for me to take a paracetamol tablet while breastfeeding? I'm really concerned about how it might affect my baby.

The doctor prescribed Azitus and she's taken two doses so far, one yesterday afternoon and another today. The fever still hasnt gone down, so I'm just wondering how long it usually takes for this to work?

I'm worried about my 4-year-old daughter who's been feeling unwell. She's 15 kg and I've heard about Combiflam syrup. Could you please let me know the right dose and dosage for her age and weight? I'm really concerned and want to make sure I'm giving her the right amount.

My baby is 2 months old and he's not pooping regularly. Sometimes it's 4 to 5 days without any bowel movement. The doctor mentioned if it goes past 7 days, we should give him milk of magnesia. It seems like he only poops when we give him the milk of magnesia after about six days. Is it okay to rely on this medicine, or could there be something else going on? I'm getting worried. Any advice?
Its not uncommon for babies, especially breastfed infants, to go for a few days without having a bowel movement. The milk of magnesia your doctor prescribed can help temporarily, but its important not to rely on it for long-term use. Keep monitoring your babys comfort, hydration, and feeding, and follow up with your doctor if the problem persists or if your baby seems to be in discomfort.
