I'm really worried because while my daughter sleeps, she suddenly starts coughing, and it keeps going for a bit. Its concerning since sometimes yellow liquid with bits of food comes out while she's asleep. What could this be? Should I be doing something about it?

I'm really worried because my 2-year-old just swallowed an apricot seed. I've heard from someone that giving him bananas and sabudana kheer might help. Is that true, and is there anything else I should be doing right now? What's the best way to handle this?

If your baby has swallowed an apricot seed, it's important to stay calm. Monitor for any signs of discomfort, choking, or difficulty breathing. Feeding bananas or sabudana kheer may help soften the stool, but if there are any concerns or signs of distress, please seek immediate medical attention.

I'm worried about my 11-month-old baby who weighs 9kg and has vomited twice. How much Calpol suspension should I give her? Is there any specific dosage I need to follow?

For an 11-month-old baby weighing 9kg, the recommended dosage of Calpol Suspension (containing paracetamol) is: - 2.5-5 mL (60-120 mg) every 4-6 hours, as needed. However, since your baby has vomited twice, consider the following: - Consult your pediatrician before administering Calpol Suspension. - Start with a small dose (2.5 mL or 60 mg) to check for tolerance. - Monitor your baby's temperature and vomiting. - If vomiting persists or worsens, seek medical attention.
