Question 1

I'm a bit worried about my son who's just 2 months and 16 days old. He doesn't really show any obvious symptoms of a cold but I've noticed he sneezes once or twice in the evenings and sometimes I hear a sound from his chest, although not consistently. Could this mean he has a cold or cough, even though he doesn't have a runny or stuffy nose? What should I do?

Accepted Answer

yes,visit your foe appropriate management

Question 2

my 5-month-old baby weighs 6.5 kg and needs to gain weight for her cleft palate surgery right now she's on formula milk around 800ml daily plus some ragi porridge and occasional breast milk since my supply is low i try feeding her 90ml every 2 hours but she refuses to take 150ml at once like the doctor suggested what else can i feed her to help her gain weight faster

Accepted Answer

Every child is different. One child may take 90ml every 2 hours and one child may take 180ml and remain full for 4 to 6 hours. So need not worry. Also weight gain is good. Continue what you are doing and don't force feed.

Question 3

My daughter has had a fever for the last five days, and we're really worried. We visited Rainbow, but it didn't seem to help much. Can you give some advice on what we should do next? Shes dealing with fever, a bad cold, and a cough. Were giving her medicine and doing sponge baths, which seem to help a bit, but at night her temperature still shoots up to 102. What else can we do?
