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?

View allMy baby just turned 5 months and 6 days old. I'm wondering if it's a good time to start introducing Cerelac as a supplement. Also, could you advise me on which formula to buy? I'm trying to make sure I'm making the right choices.
Consult your doctor before taking any medication during pregnancy. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is generally considered safe during pregnancy, but only under medical guidance. Recommended dosage: 25-50 mg every 4-6 hours, not exceeding 300 mg in 24 hours. Alternative allergy medications during pregnancy: Loratadine (Claritin) Cetirizine (Zyrtec) Always prioritize consulting your healthcare provider before taking any medication.

How do you bring down a fever?
Fever is just a symptom of any underlying infection or inflammation and it will come down only when the cause is treated. Cold water either in the form of drinking or tepid sponging helps in controlling core body temperature in fever.

I'm really worried about my 9-month-old baby. He's been having a severe cold and fever, and there's a lot of congestion in his nose and chest. I've been using a baby rub on his chest a couple of times a day, but his nose is still really stuffed up. He's also taking a syrup for the fever. Can you recommend a nasal spray that would help clear up his cold?
I'm sorry to hear your baby isn't feeling well. For nasal congestion, you can try a saline nasal spray like *Little Remedies Saline Nasal Spray* or *Aqua Maris Baby Nasal Spray*, which is safe for babies and helps relieve nasal blockage. If symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your pediatrician for further guidance.
