My 2-month-old baby has two tiny skin tags on his left ear, each about the size of a pinhead. Can homeopathy help with this, or is surgery the only option? I'm a bit concerned about what's best for his little ear.

Please visit your pediatrician first for examination of your child

I'm really worried because my 5-month-old son accidentally got a small cut on his finger while I was trimming his nails. There were just a couple of drops of blood, and I immediately applied Dettol to the area. But now I'm concerned about the possibility of tetanus. Do you think there's a risk? Should I get him a shot just to be safe?

Since the wound was minor with only a few drops of blood and you applied Dettol, the risk of tetanus infection is low; however, as a precautionary measure, consult your pediatrician, who may recommend a tetanus toxoid injection if your child hasn't received the first three doses of the DTaP vaccine or if the wound is deep or dirty.

My 3-year-old son has been having loose, watery stools all day and it's making me worried. I've tried some home remedies, but they haven't worked much. He's also having stomach pain when he goes to the bathroom. Can you suggest any medicine for his diarrhea? He weighs about 10 kg.
