I'm really worried about my 6-year-old. He's been having these persistent hiccups for the past three days now. We took him to our regular doctor who didn't find anything wrong, but they just won't stop. He's still really energetic, playing, and eating just fine, but I'm starting to get concerned. Any idea what might be causing this or what we should do next?

Frequent hiccups in children are usually harmless, especially if your son is active and eating well. Persistent hiccups over three days, though, might need further evaluation to rule out irritants like acid reflux or other rare causes. Its worth consulting a pediatrician for a second opinion.

View allI'm wondering if it's okay to give levolin 1 mg syrup to my 8-month-old baby. He's been dealing with a dry khasi and sardi since yesterday, and I'm not sure if this medication is appropriate for his age. Is it safe to use levolin for such young infants, or should I be considering other options to relieve his symptoms? I'm worried and just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing.
