I'm really worried because my niece accidentally swallowed a coin yesterday. We had an x-ray done, and it showed that the coin is now in her stomach. The doctor advised us to just wait, but today she went to the bathroom and passed stool, and the coin still hasn't come out. She's acting normally and doing all her usual activities, which is a relief, but I'm still concerned. Should I be doing anything else, or when should I be worried?

My child was given 4 ml of Ondem syrup for vomiting, and after 6 hours, we gave the syrup again. But this time, he got really itchy and his lower lip started to swell up. Can you help me understand what might have gone wrong and what we should do now? This has me pretty worried.

I'm really worried about my son. He got tested positive for TB a couple of months back. He had a cough and fever then, and hes also been dealing with asthma and diarrhea for about two months. So, the doctor said its TB, IBD, and asthma, and hes on medication for all of it. Just last week, he had a mild fever and dry cough again, and now he's positive for COVID. I'm really confused about when he'll be eligible for the COVID vaccine and if it's safe for him to go back to school without it. Can you advise on what steps we should take next?
