I'm really worried about my 24-day-old baby girl who cries a lot at night. We initially thought it was gas since that's pretty common with newborns, so we've been giving her Crosin drops as suggested by our paediatrician. I'm wondering if it's safe to keep giving her 4 drops daily? Are there any other medicines you would recommend? She seems to be doing well otherwise - she sleeps and eats well, with no fever or unusual symptoms. We feed her every 2.5 hours and her bowel movements are normal. Any advice on why she might be crying so much?

I'm a first-time mom, and my baby is now 14 days old. For the past week, she's been crying for almost three hours every night and sometimes during the day too. We tried giving her colic medicine for four days, but she keeps crying. With this Covid situation, it's really hard to visit a hospital. Is this something normal?

My son had some beetroot rice this afternoon, and now his urine has turned a pinkish color 34 times. Should I be worried about this, or is it normal?

Don't worry, the pink color in your son's urine is likely due to the betalains, a pigment found in beetroot, which can temporarily change urine color; this condition is harmless and should resolve on its own within 24 hours as the pigment is excreted from the body.

Can 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.
