I'm really worried about my daughter. She had typhoid last week and is feeling better now, but she's complaining of neck pain just below her head. The doctor mentioned it might be weakness or a cervical sprain but didn't prescribe any medicine. Should I consider physiotherapy? I'm confused about what to do next. Also, I'm unsure about the right diet for her since she's still weak. How long might it take for her to fully recover? How can we be sure the infection is completely gone? She was on medication for typhoid for nearly a week. Would love some guidance on these concerns.

Weakness after illness is common, but it should gradually improve with good nutrition and rest. Cervical sprain is possible, and a physiotherapist could help if necessary. Diet plays an important role in restoring her energy, so focus on protein, vitamins, and hydration. Monitor her progress, and if you are concerned about any symptoms, seek medical advice for further evaluation.

View allMy 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've been taking Cherifer PGM food supplement for a month now, and I'm wondering what time of day is best to take it. Also, I had to stop for a week because I was on another medication and resumed two weeks later. Is that okay?
You can take Cherifer PGM food supplement at any time of the day, but it is generally recommended to take it after a meal to maximize absorption. As for your situation, it is okay that you stopped taking it for a week and resumed after two weeks. Just continue taking it as directed on the packaging for the best results.

My little one, only 9 months old, has caught lice and nits from his nanny. It's gotten pretty bad, and I'm at a bit of a loss. Is there a safe pediculicide for infants? What should I do?
