I'm really worried about my daughter Aradhya. She's been getting a fever two or three times every month for the last couple of months. We've seen different pediatricians each time, but they always end up prescribing antibiotics and antipyretics. The meds usually help for a bit, but then a month or two later, the fever's back. Recently, one suggested Septilin syrup, saying her immune system might be weak. Even after ten days on it, she got a fever again. Im feeling stuck and unsure of what to do next. Any advice?

View allI'm really curious and a bit worried about my 30-day-old baby's skin. When he was born, his complexion was quite fair, but over time, it seems to have gotten darker. I'm using Tedibar soap for him. Could the change in skin tone be related to the summer heat, or is there something else I should consider?
The darkening of your baby's skin tone is likely due to natural melanin production and adaptation to the environment, rather than the soap or summer heat; continue using gentle, fragrance-free soap like Tedibar, and consider consulting your pediatrician to rule out any underlying conditions, but in most cases, this change is harmless and may stabilize over time

I'm really worried about my 3-year-old who has a fever of 101. His weight is around 12 kg, and I have Calpol syrup 250 mg at home. Can you let me know how much I should be giving him to help bring the fever down? Is this the right dosage for his age and weight?
For a 3-year-old child weighing 12kg with a 101F fever, the recommended dosage of Calpol 250mg syrup is 5-7.5ml (1.25-1.875mgkg) every 4-6 hours, not exceeding 4 doses in 24 hours;

I'm really worried about my daughter. For the past two days, she's been blinking involuntarily, but it only happens when she's watching TV or using her mobile phone. Its not super frequent, yet it's causing some anxiety for us. What could be causing this, and what should we do about it?
That could be due to Dry eyes,let her not use any screens and feed her often,you can give refresh tear drops for better results
