I'm really worried about my 3-year-old who's been having a fever around 101 that keeps coming back every 8 hours. It's been going on for 5 days now, but there aren't any other symptoms like a cough, sneezing, or a rash. I tried giving Ibuprofen, and it seems to help, but I'm just not sure if I should be doing something else. Could you give me some advice?

A heart rate of 140 at rest and 190-202 during stress is concerning.

This could indicate:

Tachycardia (abnormally fast heart rate)

Anxiety or stress-related issues

Underlying heart conditions (e.g., arrhythmias)

Consult a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation.

Treatment may involve medications (e.g., beta blockers) or lifestyle changes.

Regular monitoring and follow-up are crucial to prevent potential complications.

My 3-year-old has had a fever, cough, and cold since last Saturday, and I've been giving him Crocin, Augmentin DDS, and Amrox Junior. But he still seems to have the same symptoms. I'm really worried and not sure what else to do. Can you suggest any changes or next steps?

Cold is caused by a virus. Antibiotics will not help.

My baby is 64 days old and sleeps through the night from 11 pm to 6 am without waking for feeds. His last feed is around 10:30 pm. During the day, he feeds on demand and stays active with good urine output, though he poops every alternate day. We're doing mixed feeding mostly pumped milk with formula only when needed. He had a lip and tongue tie release surgery 10 days ago and takes about 7-9 feeds per day. Should I wake him at night to feed or is it okay to let him sleep since he's gaining well and active during the day

let him sleep
