I'm a mother of a 4-month-old baby and I'm currently breastfeeding. I got the Covishield vaccine this morning and I'm wondering if it's safe for me to take Dolo 650 while I'm breastfeeding. Is that something you'd recommend?

Congratulations on reaching this milestone!

At 5 months 6 days, you can introduce Cerelac as a supplementary food.

For your baby's age, suitable Cerelac options are:

Cerelac Wheat (single-grain cereal) Cerelac Rice (single-grain cereal)

Consult your pediatrician before introducing any new food.

Always follow the instructions on the packaging and prepare the cereal as recommended.

I'm really worried about my 3-year-old nephew. His CRP levels have been elevated 45 times over the past eight months, even though all his other tests, like the CBC and urine exams, come back normal. His CRP is currently at 20. Before, he would have a fever when the CRP level increased, but this time he's just not eating well and has been vomiting. What could be causing these recurring raised CRP levels? What steps should we take?

_Self-Care Measures_ 1. _Apply heat_: Use a warm towel or heating pad to relax muscles and increase blood flow. 2. _Stretching exercises_: Gently tilt your head to the left, bringing your ear towards your shoulder.
