I'm really curious about the pcv and rv vaccines for my 1.5-month-old baby. Are these vaccines essential at this age? I'm feeling a bit anxious, so any advice would be appreciated.

For a 1.5-month-old baby, the PCV (Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine) and RV (Rotavirus Vaccine) are indeed recommended vaccinations.

PCV Vaccine Schedule: Typically administered in two primary doses at 6 weeks and 14 weeks, followed by a booster dose at 9-12 months of age.

RV Vaccine Schedule: Usually given in three doses at 6 weeks, 10 weeks, and 14 weeks.

It's essential to consult your pediatrician for personalized advice and to ensure your baby receives the necessary vaccinations on time.

How do you bring down a fever?

Fever is just a symptom of any underlying infection or inflammation and it will come down only when the cause is treated. Cold water either in the form of drinking or tepid sponging helps in controlling core body temperature in fever.

I'm really concerned about my son. He's having skin itching but there aren't any rashes. He's been scratching his head, arm, behind his neck, and foot, and there hasn't been any fever or infection recently. I've noticed his appetite seems to be increasing all of a sudden, and he sometimes complains of abdominal pain. I discovered white particles in his stool, but I did deworm him last month. Right now, he's on an antihistamine. This same kind of itching happened last year, and he was advised to take Banocide syrup along with the antihistamine, and it took almost a month to clear up. I'm really worried. What could be causing this, and what should I give him for the itching and abdominal pain?

Thats Urticaria,identify the allergen and avoid it,also visit dermatologist for appropriate management
