I'm really concerned because my 2-month-old baby, who's exclusively breastfed, has been experiencing loose motions three times a day. Is this normal for her age and diet, or should I be worried about something else going on?

It's possible that your baby is experiencing loose motions due to a mild viral infection, a sensitivity to something in your diet, or even teething. Since shes exclusively breastfed, its important to monitor her hydration and consult with a pediatrician to rule out any underlying causes.

I'm really worried about my son; he's been dealing with a cold, cough, wheezing, and a runny nose for the past 11 days. He wasn't eating anything and seemed to be thirsty all the time, which isn't normal for him. We went to see a pediatrician who recommended T-minic and Asthalin syrup along with a nebulizer, but we skipped the nebulizer because he doesn't feel comfortable with it. Now he's a bit better, eating decently, and is more active. But his runny nose just won't go away, especially in the mornings and evenings, even after all this time. I've stopped giving him the Asthalin syrup but continue with T-minic twice a day. What can I do about this persistent runny nose? Also, it seems like his colds often turn into wheezing now, and that's really tough on him and us too. He's restless and can't sleep, which affects his appetite as well. I can't bear to see him suffer like this, and it's scary to think of him catching another cold that might turn into wheezing again. Any advice would be really appreciated.

For your son's persistent running nose, consider adding saline nasal drops or spray to help loosen mucus, and consult the pediatrician about continuing Tminic and possibly adding an antihistamine or decongestant; regarding the recurring wheezing, discuss with the pediatrician the possibility of underlying conditions like asthma, allergies, or respiratory issues, and explore preventive measures, such as avoiding triggers, using a humidifier, and keeping your home clean and dust-free, to reduce the likelihood of wheezing episodes.

My daughter just turned 4 months old and she's been running a fever around 98.9 to 99.7 for 12 days now. I've been giving her Fepanil drops and Macpod since day one of the fever, but it hasnt gone away. Should I be worried?
