I'm really concerned because whenever my kid cries, I've noticed the tears are kind of sticky but there's no pus. Could this be related to diabetes? I know that might sound strange, but I am a diabetic myself, and I'm just wondering if that could have anything to do with it. It's been worrying me a bit. What do you think?

Can I give suji halwa or kheer to my 8-month-old boy if he's been having loose stools for a week? Is suji good for him right now?
For an 8-month-old baby experiencing loose stools, it is important to focus on easily digestible foods. Suji (semolina) can be a good option as it is gentle on the stomach and can help firm up the stools. You can prepare suji halwa with minimal sugar and ghee for your baby. Additionally, you can also give your baby rice-based foods like rice water or rice cereal. Make sure to continue breastfeeding or formula feeding to prevent dehydration. If the loose stools persist or worsen, please consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and management.

I'm feeling a bit concerned about my 4 and a half-year-old's fever. It's hovering around 100.5 degrees. Is this something I should be worried about and consider visiting a doctor for? Also, what would be the right dosage of Calpol 250 mg to give?
For a child of 4 and a half years old with a fever of around 100.5F, it is advisable to monitor the fever closely and ensure they stay hydrated. You can give Calpol (Paracetamol) in a dosage of 250 mg. The recommended dosage for children aged 4-6 years is 5 ml (250 mg) every 4-6 hours as needed, with no more than 4 doses in 24 hours. Make sure to use a proper measuring device to administer the medication accurately. If the fever persists or if your child develops any other concerning symptoms, then it would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
