I'm wondering about what's happening with my 6-month-old baby. We've been putting coconut oil in his ears every day, and now it seems like there's this wax-like substance covering them. Should we keep doing this, or is it something we should stop?

View allMy little one is 4.5 months old and Ive noticed he always keeps his mouth open. Whenever I try to close it, he just opens it wider like he thinks something is coming his way. Is this something I should be concerned about? Could it mean something more, or is it just a phase?
-It sounds like your little one is still learning about his surroundings and his mouth is one of the first areas he explores. It's completely normal for babies at this age to have their mouths open often as they try to understand different sensations, inc

I'm really worried about my daughter. She had typhoid last week and is feeling better now, but she's complaining of neck pain just below her head. The doctor mentioned it might be weakness or a cervical sprain but didn't prescribe any medicine. Should I consider physiotherapy? I'm confused about what to do next. Also, I'm unsure about the right diet for her since she's still weak. How long might it take for her to fully recover? How can we be sure the infection is completely gone? She was on medication for typhoid for nearly a week. Would love some guidance on these concerns.
Weakness after illness is common, but it should gradually improve with good nutrition and rest. Cervical sprain is possible, and a physiotherapist could help if necessary. Diet plays an important role in restoring her energy, so focus on protein, vitamins, and hydration. Monitor her progress, and if you are concerned about any symptoms, seek medical advice for further evaluation.

I'm really worried about my 2.5-year-old son. He's been dealing with a cold and cough for a few days, and the pediatrician said it might be WALRI. We started him on clarithromycin and nebulizer treatments, and we're on day three now. When I check his SPO2 while he's asleep, I'm seeing it fluctuate between 89 and 92, and sometimes it jumps to 95 or 96. Is this normal? Should I be concerned about these fluctuations? What should I do next?
