Question 1

My little one has been dealing with a really stubborn cough and cold, and his nose just won't stop running. It's been going on for almost 4 months now. We've been trying homeopathic treatments, but it doesnt seem to be helping much. This seems to happen every year, and Im getting a bit worried. What should I do?

Question 2

I'm really worried about my 3-year-old nephew. His CRP levels have been elevated 45 times over the past eight months, even though all his other tests, like the CBC and urine exams, come back normal. His CRP is currently at 20. Before, he would have a fever when the CRP level increased, but this time he's just not eating well and has been vomiting. What could be causing these recurring raised CRP levels? What steps should we take?

Question 3

Do Blankets Increase fever?

Accepted Answer

Blankets alone can not increase fever, however, during fever it is suggestbale to use light blankets so that heat dissipation can be effective.

I'm really worried because the doctor mentioned that my daughter is allergic to climate change. We're currently giving her nebulization, but she's still coughing quite a bit. Is there anything else we can do to help her manage this?

It sounds like your doctor suspects an allergy triggered by changes in the weather, which can worsen symptoms like coughing. Nebulization should help with breathing, but if the coughing persists, it's important to follow up for additional treatments or medications to manage the allergy better.
