I'm really worried because my little cousin accidentally drank 25 ml of Dettol Antiseptic Liquid that I had in a measurement cup. Its been about half an hour since then, and he just complained of a bit of irritation on his tongue. Theres no abdominal pain or nausea at the moment. He did drink a lot of warm water afterward, but I'm still anxious about whether hell be okay or if any other symptoms might show up. Could you please let me know what I should do?

How do you bring down a fever?

Fever is just a symptom of any underlying infection or inflammation and it will come down only when the cause is treated. Cold water either in the form of drinking or tepid sponging helps in controlling core body temperature in fever.

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?
