I'm really worried about my 9-year-old daughter. She fell down the stairs and hurt her back. It's swollen about 3 cm above the base of her spine, and she's complaining about pain in her knees, even though she didn't hit them. She also feels pain in her back when she lifts small things like her iPad. We've been using an ice pack on the swollen area, and she's lying on her belly right now. She can still walk and sit, but her back is very painful. The swelling is starting to go down a bit. I'm worried and not sure what to do next or what to watch out for. Could this lead to something serious? What should I be looking out for?

My 2-month-old baby has two tiny skin tags on his left ear, each about the size of a pinhead. Can homeopathy help with this, or is surgery the only option? I'm a bit concerned about what's best for his little ear.

Please visit your pediatrician first for examination of your child
