I'm really worried about my 2.5-year-old son. He's been dealing with a cold and cough for a few days, and the pediatrician said it might be WALRI. We started him on clarithromycin and nebulizer treatments, and we're on day three now. When I check his SPO2 while he's asleep, I'm seeing it fluctuate between 89 and 92, and sometimes it jumps to 95 or 96. Is this normal? Should I be concerned about these fluctuations? What should I do next?

My younger brother is 12 years and 2 months old. His friend showed him a picture of a naked girl on a phone, and when he saw it, he suddenly had an orgasm and ejaculation without even touching his penis. This was his first time ever experiencing this, and he hasn't tried masturbating before. Is this a normal reaction?

How do you bring down a fever?
Fever is just a symptom of any underlying infection or inflammation and it will come down only when the cause is treated. Cold water either in the form of drinking or tepid sponging helps in controlling core body temperature in fever.
