I'm really worried and need some advice. My 4-year-old daughter was playing when a monkey grabbed her with its claws. During the escape, she ended up with a minor scratch on her shoulder from the monkey's nails. My wife cleaned the area with Dettol and took her to a local clinic where she got a tetanus shot. Do you think she needs to get an anti-rabies vaccination too?

My baby is 2 months old and he's not pooping regularly. Sometimes it's 4 to 5 days without any bowel movement. The doctor mentioned if it goes past 7 days, we should give him milk of magnesia. It seems like he only poops when we give him the milk of magnesia after about six days. Is it okay to rely on this medicine, or could there be something else going on? I'm getting worried. Any advice?

Its not uncommon for babies, especially breastfed infants, to go for a few days without having a bowel movement. The milk of magnesia your doctor prescribed can help temporarily, but its important not to rely on it for long-term use. Keep monitoring your babys comfort, hydration, and feeding, and follow up with your doctor if the problem persists or if your baby seems to be in discomfort.
