I'm really concerned about my 9-month-old baby. He's been vomiting since morning and hasn't eaten anything all day. He keeps crying, and it's breaking my heart. I'm not sure what could be wrong. Yesterday, we took him to the mall, and he tried a spoonful of halwa. This morning, he had some egg and roti with milk. Now, he's vomited at least 34 times; it's all watery. Today's Sunday, and all the local doctors are closed. Any idea what could be causing this or what I should do?

View allI'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.

My daughter had her 6-week vaccinations on March 8th, and since then, she's had a lump on her thigh. The doctor suggested using hot water treatment, but there's still a small lump there. Could you give me some advice on what else I should do or if this is normal?
Is it normal to get a lump after an injection? Getting a lump under your skin is a normal and expected injection site reaction. The lump may be painful or tender. As with other symptoms related to injection site reactions, get medical attention if your symptoms last longer than 1 to 2 days or get worse.

I'm really worried because my 5-month-old son accidentally got a small cut on his finger while I was trimming his nails. There were just a couple of drops of blood, and I immediately applied Dettol to the area. But now I'm concerned about the possibility of tetanus. Do you think there's a risk? Should I get him a shot just to be safe?
Since the wound was minor with only a few drops of blood and you applied Dettol, the risk of tetanus infection is low; however, as a precautionary measure, consult your pediatrician, who may recommend a tetanus toxoid injection if your child hasn't received the first three doses of the DTaP vaccine or if the wound is deep or dirty.
