I'm really worried because my 2-year-old just ate some of the slime from a toy called Barrel-o-Slime. Could this be harmful or cause any issues? What should I do?

If your 2-year-old ingested a small amount of Barrel-O-Slime, they might experience mild symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, but severe complications are unlikely; however, monitor your child closely and seek immediate medical attention if you notice any of the following: difficulty breathing, severe vomiting, abdominal pain, or lethargy.

Can I give my 4-year-old son 5ml of Solvin Cold AF for his cold symptoms? He weighs about 11-12 kg, just want to make sure it's safe for him.

It's best to avoid giving Solvin Cold AF to your 4-year-old without consulting a pediatrician, as it contains multiple ingredients that may not be suitable for children. I recommend speaking with your child's doctor to get a safe and appropriate treatment plan for his cold symptoms.

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.
