I'm experiencing some mild itching and discomfort around my anus, mostly during the night. It's starting to worry me a bit because I think it might be pinworms. I'm considering taking a deworming medication but I'm not sure what would be best. Could you give me a prescription and suggest the dosage?

I'm really concerned because my 2-month-old baby, who's exclusively breastfed, has been experiencing loose motions three times a day. Is this normal for her age and diet, or should I be worried about something else going on?
It's possible that your baby is experiencing loose motions due to a mild viral infection, a sensitivity to something in your diet, or even teething. Since shes exclusively breastfed, its important to monitor her hydration and consult with a pediatrician to rule out any underlying causes.

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.
