I'm really worried about my son because he's got a high viral fever that goes between 101 and 104. We're already doing sponging when his fever hits 103 and following the medicine schedule our pediatrician suggested, which seems to help lower the fever a bit. But someone mentioned it might be a good idea to keep him in an air-conditioned room with the temperature set to around 24-25 degrees. Do you think it's safe or advisable to use the AC when he's dealing with a viral fever?

I'm wondering if giving formula milk to my 2-month-old baby could have any side effects. I actually have enough breast milk, but my little one's weight hasn't increased much. Our doctor mentioned using MMS milk powder. Should I be concerned about using the formula, or is it generally safe for my baby at this age?
MMS formula feed is considered safe and nutritious for infants. However, if breast milk is available in sufficient quantity, it would be more advisable to give priority to breast milk over formula feed, due to its immunity boosting and psychologically nurturing effects.

I'm really worried about my 2-month-old son who's been on formula milk since birth. He recently got pneumonia and was hospitalized. Sometimes, I hear crackling sounds when he breathes, and I'm concerned there might be fluid in his lungs. Could it be a lung abscess? He's generally playful and feeds well, but sometimes he breathes fast after feeding. His chest seems fine most of the time, so I'm confused. Is lung abscess something that develops after chest congestion, or can it happen without any obvious congestion?
