I'm really worried about my 8-year-old daughter. She had COVID back in September and then pneumonia in November, which got her hospitalized. We managed to get her treated, but now, in mid-February, she's come down with a fever, cold, and wet cough again. Our pediatrician did an X-ray and it's pneumonia once more, and they mentioned it's viral. We've been taking such good care of her since November, so I'm just so confused as to why it's happening again. Do you think she needs more tests or investigations to figure this out? What should we do next?

My baby's lips have started turning a blackish color over the last couple of days. She's eating normally, and everything seems fine in that department. However, she's passing liquid stool, and I'm concerned it might be related to the heat here. Could you provide some guidance on what might be happening?

It's good to hear that your baby is feeding well. Blackish lips can sometimes be due to dehydration or a lack of oxygen, but its important to monitor if this persists. The liquid stools could indeed be due to the heat; keep her well-hydrated, and if the symptoms continue or worsen, Id recommend a pediatricians consultation for a thorough checkup.

I'm really worried about my 2-year-old son. He had surgery on his head a few weeks ago, and the doctor prescribed him 5ml of Advent twice a day. Now it's been about three weeks post-surgery, and today he's having really bad diarrhea and headaches. I've tried giving him oranges to help, but I'm not sure if that's enough. Can you give me some advice on what I should do next?

Stop advent, diarrhoea is its side effect.

I'm really worried because for the past couple of days, my son's eyes have been getting watery, and he has to rub them to feel a bit better. It's strange because we don't actually see any water coming out, and luckily, his eyes aren't hurting. What could be causing this?

That could be due to dryness,use refresh tear 4 times in a day for a week if its still becoming worse,visit Ophtholomologist for appropriate management
