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 really worried about my 4 and a half-month-old daughter. She's got these small red pimple-like spots on her cheeks, just a few of them. I spoke to a doctor who suggested using Physiogel Hypoallergenic moisturizer, but after applying it for two days, there's been no improvement. Are these spots normal, or is there something else I should be doing? I've attached a picture for reference.

My child has a really high fever, and their temperature is at 102F. The doctor suggested giving them Meftal, but even after taking one dose, the fever hasn't gone down. What should I do next, should I keep giving the medication or try something else? I'm really worried and could use some advice.
The medication Meftal is commonly used to reduce fever and relieve pain. In this case, since the fever is still high at 102F after taking Meftal, you can consider giving your child Acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) at a dose appropriate for their age and weight. It is important to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging or as advised by your doctor. Additionally, make sure your child stays hydrated and dress them lightly to help reduce the fever. If the fever persists or if your child's condition worsens, please consult your doctor for further evaluation.

My son is 9 years old and weighs 28 kg. He's running a temperature, and I already gave him 5ml of Ibugesic, but it hasn't helped lower it. His temperature is at 101.8. Can you help me figure out the right dosage for him?
You can give 8ml of Calpol 500 syrup which would help,if still its not working visit pediatrician for evaluation and appropriate management
