I'm really worried about my 2-month-old son who's been on formula milk since birth. He recently got pneumonia and was hospitalized. Sometimes, I hear crackling sounds when he breathes, and I'm concerned there might be fluid in his lungs. Could it be a lung abscess? He's generally playful and feeds well, but sometimes he breathes fast after feeding. His chest seems fine most of the time, so I'm confused. Is lung abscess something that develops after chest congestion, or can it happen without any obvious congestion?

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.
