I'm feeling pretty worried because my 6-month-old baby accidentally got a piece of paper in his mouth. I managed to get some of it out, but I'm not sure if he swallowed the rest or if it's still in there. What should I do now? Is there a chance it could cause any harm or should I just keep an eye on him for any symptoms?

Minors ingesting minuscule paper pass them through stools. If the child has any sort of choking, gagging, fast breathing please make sure to go to the local paediatrician.

View allI'm feeling a bit concerned about my 4 and a half-year-old's fever. It's hovering around 100.5 degrees. Is this something I should be worried about and consider visiting a doctor for? Also, what would be the right dosage of Calpol 250 mg to give?
For a child of 4 and a half years old with a fever of around 100.5F, it is advisable to monitor the fever closely and ensure they stay hydrated. You can give Calpol (Paracetamol) in a dosage of 250 mg. The recommended dosage for children aged 4-6 years is 5 ml (250 mg) every 4-6 hours as needed, with no more than 4 doses in 24 hours. Make sure to use a proper measuring device to administer the medication accurately. If the fever persists or if your child develops any other concerning symptoms, then it would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional.

My child has been dealing with asthma allergies. I'm wondering if it's okay to give him Levokin, Budecart, and Ipravent respules all at the same time using a nebulizer?

My son has one testicle that hasn't descended and the doctor recommended surgery to remove the undescended one. Is there any homeopathic treatment that can help with this instead? We're based in Hyderabad and looking for alternatives before going for surgery.
While homeopathic remedies are available, they don't have a proven track record for treating undescended testicles. Surgery is generally recommended for this condition, and the sooner it's done, the better. orchiopexy, a surgical procedure to move the undescended testicle into the scrotum.
