I'm looking to buy an infrared thermometer, and I'm a bit confused about which brand would be best for both kids and adults. Can you recommend a reliable option or give some tips on what features to look for? Any advice would be really helpful because I want to make sure I choose something accurate and easy to use for the whole family.

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 kid. They had a fever, but the blood test came back normal, and the fever went away after using Fepanil 125, Relent, Deriphyllin, and Zynconiataximo 100 tab as advised by our pediatrician. My kid seemed to get better and started playing again, but now the fever is back. It's been a total of 8 days since the fever first started. We did a urine test, and it showed a bacterial infection now we're just waiting for the urine culture results. I'm stressed because I can't seem to find a good pediatrician in Ramamurthy Nagar, and it feels like something serious might be going on. I have twin girls, and thankfully, the other one is okay. Any advice or suggestions on what steps to take next?

My son's been coughing for more than 20 days now and he's been taking zest syrup and some antibiotics, but it just won't go away. It's not a dry cough and he also starts sneezing when he coughs. What should I do?
It seems he is suffering from respiratory tract infection. Any cough of more than 21 days duration can be due to Pulmonary Tuberculosis.
