I'm really worried about her. She's been having a temperature of 99 degrees for the last 35 days, and initially, it was around 100 for two days. We gave her paracetamol then, and it didn't go above 99 after that. Should I be concerned that it's lasted this long? What should we do next?

View allCan I give my 4-year-old son 5ml of Solvin Cold AF for his cold symptoms? He weighs about 11-12 kg, just want to make sure it's safe for him.
It's best to avoid giving Solvin Cold AF to your 4-year-old without consulting a pediatrician, as it contains multiple ingredients that may not be suitable for children. I recommend speaking with your child's doctor to get a safe and appropriate treatment plan for his cold symptoms.

I'm really worried because my 4-year-old has been having loose motions. What syrup can I give him to help with this?
A child of 4 years old suffering from loose motions can be given syrup containing Racecadotril. The recommended dosage for Racecadotril syrup in children is 1.5 mg per kg of body weight per dose, to be taken 3 times a day. It is important to consult with a pediatrician for proper evaluation and guidance.

my son had TB and just had intestine surgery should I get the whole family checked for TB too
Yes, it's highly recommended to get the whole family tested for TB. Since your son had intestinal TB, which is usually not contagious, it's still a good idea to get the family checked, especially if your son had active TB in the lungs or throat. People with active TB are most likely to spread it to close contacts, including family members. If your son had pulmonary or laryngeal TB, there's a higher risk of transmission to household members. If your son had abdominal TB, which is less likely to spread, testing family members is still a good precaution
