Question

I'm really concerned because my mom, my 17-month-old son, and I ate a mango that had these white maggot-like worms in it. My mom and I ended up vomiting afterward, and we even saw some of the worms still moving. I'm really worried about whether this could have any effects, especially on my son. Can you offer any advice on what I should do?

The worms you are describing may be parasitic worms that can cause health issues. You should consult a healthcare professional to get the proper diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, you can consider taking Albendazole 400mg tablet as a deworming medication for adults. For your 17-month-old son, you can give him Albendazole suspension in a dosage appropriate for his weight. Make sure to follow the dosage instructions provided by the healthcare professional.

Question

I'm really worried about my 10-month-old baby girl. She had a high fever and a febrile seizure, so we had an MRI, EEG, and ultrasound done, but thankfully all the reports came back normal. We're giving her Taxim O, 3 ml, as an antibiotic. I'm concerned about giving antibiotics frequently and if there are any side effects we should watch for. Also, I've noticed she's passing urine more often than usual. Is that something to be alarmed about, or could it be normal? If you have any other advice, Id really appreciate it.

Question

I'm really worried about my 4-year-old. They've had a cold and cough for three days now and are even throwing up. We've already given them an antibiotic and some cough syrup, but I'm not sure if that's enough or if we're doing the right thing. Could it be something more serious or should we try something else?

Question

I'm really concerned about my baby who's just 2 months old. My in-laws keep giving him a honey nipple whenever he cries at night. I'm worried he might be getting used to it or needs it to calm down instead of naturally settling. Could there be any side effects from him suckling on a honey nipple? And how can I help him break this habit if it's not good for him?
