I'm really worried right now. My child has a tummy worm and it's biting her constantly. It's 2 in the morning, and she's crying so much. I don't know what to do at home to help her. Any advice?

I'm really worried because my 2-month-old baby accidentally swallowed one of my hairs. I saw it on his tongue and tried to get it out, but then he swallowed it. Is this something I should be concerned about?

It is important to monitor for any signs of distress such as difficulty breathing, coughing, or vomiting. In most cases, the hair will pass through the digestive system without causing any issues. However, if you notice any concerning symptoms or if your baby seems to be in discomfort, you should consult a pediatrician.

I'm feeling pretty worried because my 6-month-old baby accidentally got a piece of paper in his mouth. I managed to get some of it out, but I'm not sure if he swallowed the rest or if it's still in there. What should I do now? Is there a chance it could cause any harm or should I just keep an eye on him for any symptoms?

Minors ingesting minuscule paper pass them through stools. If the child has any sort of choking, gagging, fast breathing please make sure to go to the local paediatrician.

I'm a bit concerned because my baby is 13 months old and I noticed there's no scar or mark from the BCG vaccine she got when she was 6 days old. The doctor is suggesting to give another BCG vaccine. Does this sound safe to you?
