I'm really worried about my 2.5-year-old son. I've noticed that his left tonsil appears bigger than the right one. Is this something normal, or should I be concerned? Could you let me know what steps to take next?

My baby boy is 9 months old and he's been having loose motions since last Friday. We saw a pediatrician who recommended giving him Nutrolin B twice a day and a Zinc Dry Powder Suspension once a day. Over the weekend, he had about 7 to 8 stools each day. Today, it's been 5 times so far. What's really worrying me is that his last 3 stools have been dark green in color. Should I be concerned about this? Do you think I should take him back to the pediatrician right away?

Consult your pediatrician immediately if you notice: Symptoms 1. Fever > 102F (39C) 2. Vomiting 3. Blood in stool 4. Refusal to feed 5. Signs of dehydration (dry mouth, fewer wet diapers) 6. Dark green stools persisting or worsening Additional Concerns 1. Infection (bacterial or parasitic) 2. Food intolerance (lactose or gluten) 3. Allergic reactions 4. Gastroenteritis (viral infection) Self-Care Measures 1. Continue current treatment (Nutrolin B, Zinc Suspension) 2. Monitor stool frequency, consistency, and color 3. Record temperature, appetite, and overall condition 4. Breastfeed or formula feed frequently 5. Offer electrolyte-rich fluids (ORS, coconut water)

My 6-year-old accidentally swallowed a Pan 40 tablet. There have been no side effects, and it's been about 2 hours since she took it. I'm really worried and not sure what to do. Can you advise?

I'm a bit worried. I've been using Eytex Kajal to put a bindi on my baby's forehead, and now there's a white spot appearing in that area. I also put a small kajal dot on her cheek, but there are no white spots there. Could you help me understand why this is happening and if there's any medication I can give my 5-month-old baby girl?

The white spot that has appeared on your baby's forehead may be a reaction to the ingredients in the kajal. It is possible that the skin on the forehead is more sensitive compared to the cheek, which is why the white spot only appeared in that area. I recommend stopping the use of the eyetex kajal on your baby's forehead to see if the white spot improves. You can apply a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil lotion on the affected area to help soothe the skin. If the white spot does not improve or if it worsens, please consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and management.
