I'm really worried about my two kids, one is almost 3 and the other is 1 and a half. They keep eating dust and small stones. I'm not sure why they're doing it or how to get them to stop. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I can do to break this habit?

My son is almost 3 years old and he's been dealing with childhood asthma. We've had to take him to the hospital three times already because of it, and we're still facing challenges. I'm really worried about him. Is this something that can be cured, or is it just about managing it for now?

I accidentally gave my child expired Mucolite syrup that expired just last month. Could it be poisonous, and what should I do now? Please advise on any remedy.

Question

I'm really worried because the fever is stuck at 102-103 Fahrenheit since this morning. We went to the hospital, and the general physician prescribed antibiotics and DOLO, but the fever just won't go down. Do you think he might need a different diagnosis?
