I'm really worried about my 2-year-old daughter. She's been coughing for the past two weeks, and today I noticed she coughed up a bit of blood. Should I be concerned about this, and could it be something serious?

I'm really worried about my 3.5-month-old baby boy. For the past couple of days, his urine has been white, and the analysis shows there's a large amount of amorphous phosphate present. Do you know what might be causing this? Will it gradually get better on its own, or is there something I should be doing about it?

I'm a mother of a 4-month-old baby and I'm currently breastfeeding. I got the Covishield vaccine this morning and I'm wondering if it's safe for me to take Dolo 650 while I'm breastfeeding. Is that something you'd recommend?

Congratulations on reaching this milestone! At 5 months 6 days, you can introduce Cerelac as a supplementary food. For your baby's age, suitable Cerelac options are: Cerelac Wheat (single-grain cereal) Cerelac Rice (single-grain cereal) Consult your pediatrician before introducing any new food. Always follow the instructions on the packaging and prepare the cereal as recommended.

My daughter had her 6-week vaccinations on March 8th, and since then, she's had a lump on her thigh. The doctor suggested using hot water treatment, but there's still a small lump there. Could you give me some advice on what else I should do or if this is normal?

Is it normal to get a lump after an injection? Getting a lump under your skin is a normal and expected injection site reaction. The lump may be painful or tender. As with other symptoms related to injection site reactions, get medical attention if your symptoms last longer than 1 to 2 days or get worse.
