I'm really worried because my 7-month-old baby's head feels really hot and he's been running a temperature of 100C for the last two days. It hasn't changed at all, and I'm not sure what I should do or if I should be more concerned. What could be causing this persistent fever, and should I be bringing him in to see someone?

7-month-old baby's head feeling hot with a temperature of 100C for two days can be concerning. However, it's essential to note that a baby's head can feel hotter than the rest of their body due to their underdeveloped thermoregulation system .
Since your baby's temperature is slightly elevated, it's crucial to monitor their overall health. Ensure your baby is well-hydrated by breastfeeding or formula feeding as usual.

- Hydrate: Ensure your baby is well-hydrated.

View allMy 2.3-year-old son only says 1 or 2 letter words like mummy, papa, ayu, bhavu. He also mixes up words, saying 'taj' instead of 'raj.' His pediatrician suggested surgery for extra skin under his tongue is this really necessary? What else can I do to help his speech development?
1. Buy simple cardboard books like animals, fruits,transport books and read together, this will improve vocabulary. Then buy books like Bubble series.. and together read every night . Also ,Singing rhymes with actions is fun way to improve language. 2.Talk to him everything you are doing in daily activities eg: if you are chopping veggies, tell him so.. 3.Send him to Play group/preschools. 4. Wait for a month and If this doesn't help then go to pediatricians to evaluate in details.

I'm a bit worried about my 7-year-old son. I used to give him PEDIASURE, but he started putting on weight and lost his appetite after around three years, so I stopped. I've heard people say that all those drinks are similar, and he was having COMPLAN too, but I've stopped that as well. I'm just trying to figure out what's true and whether I should be adding anything to his milk or just keep it plain. If I should add something, what would be best for him?

My 2-year-old daughter has been diagnosed with asthma, and I'm really worried because we've seen multiple pediatricians without much improvement. About a year ago, she started with a severe cough that lasted for around five months, and we treated her for just that before realizing it was asthma. Were currently giving her salbutamol and prednisolone, but I'm concerned about whether this is the best treatment plan or if there's something else we should consider. Could you offer any guidance or suggestions?
