I'm really worried about my son. He got tested positive for TB a couple of months back. He had a cough and fever then, and hes also been dealing with asthma and diarrhea for about two months. So, the doctor said its TB, IBD, and asthma, and hes on medication for all of it. Just last week, he had a mild fever and dry cough again, and now he's positive for COVID. I'm really confused about when he'll be eligible for the COVID vaccine and if it's safe for him to go back to school without it. Can you advise on what steps we should take next?

View allI'm a bit worried because my baby was born at 34 weeks and he's now 2 months and 18 days old, but he's not quite recognizing us, especially his mom. He's just started seeing some objects, but not very clearly. When can we expect him to start seeing us properly and responding with a smile?
No need to worry it takes time, usually from 3 to 4 months baby starts recognising people, have a regular followup with your doctor

I'm really worried about my 2 and a half-year-old son. He has a cold with a runny nose and sneezing, and he also occasionally gets a fever. Our pediatrician suggested Mucolite Alex Junior for the cold and cough, but it hasn't really helped. We then went to an ENT specialist who said he might have allergies and soft tissue issues, and she recommended Sinarest, Levolin, Gudcef, and Montek LC. I'm feeling really confused about these different medications and what's actually wrong. Could you help me understand what's going on and whether were on the right track with his treatment?
No need to worry and I suggest you to follow ENT doctors advice and give your child warm foods and feed him often

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.
