I'm really worried about my 2-year-old son. He had surgery on his head a few weeks ago, and the doctor prescribed him 5ml of Advent twice a day. Now it's been about three weeks post-surgery, and today he's having really bad diarrhea and headaches. I've tried giving him oranges to help, but I'm not sure if that's enough. Can you give me some advice on what I should do next?

I'm really worried about my daughter. She had typhoid last week and is feeling better now, but she's complaining of neck pain just below her head. The doctor mentioned it might be weakness or a cervical sprain but didn't prescribe any medicine. Should I consider physiotherapy? I'm confused about what to do next. Also, I'm unsure about the right diet for her since she's still weak. How long might it take for her to fully recover? How can we be sure the infection is completely gone? She was on medication for typhoid for nearly a week. Would love some guidance on these concerns.

Weakness after illness is common, but it should gradually improve with good nutrition and rest. Cervical sprain is possible, and a physiotherapist could help if necessary. Diet plays an important role in restoring her energy, so focus on protein, vitamins, and hydration. Monitor her progress, and if you are concerned about any symptoms, seek medical advice for further evaluation.

Is it okay to use placentrex ointment on my 3-year-old's burn wound? She's in a lot of pain. My uncle mentioned it, but Im not sure if its safe for her age. What do you think?

You can use it no problem, it helps in regeneration of healthy tissue over the wound.
