I'm worried because my mom was scratched by a cat's nails. Luckily, there was no bleeding, but now I'm wondering if it's safe for her to continue breastfeeding the baby. Could this be risky for the baby in any way?

View allI'm really worried because my 7-year-old's platelet count just dropped from 172,000 to 130,000 in just a day, and on top of that, their WBC count shot up from 6,400 to 25,000. They're dealing with Dengue right now. Could this be risky? What's the threshold for platelet levels to become dangerous? What should we do?
This rapid change in blood counts indicates a worsening condition. In Dengue fever, a platelet count below 20000 is considered dangerous and requires immediate medical attention. I recommend immediate hospitalization for close monitoring and management. The child may require intravenous fluids, platelet transfusion, and other supportive care as deemed necessary by the healthcare provider. It is important to closely monitor the child's condition and follow the healthcare provider's recommendations for further treatment.

I've just realized that I took some expired Augmentin, and I'm currently breastfeeding. I'm pretty worried and not sure what to do next. Should I continue feeding my baby, or could this be harmful to them in any way? Would love some advice on this.
This Widal test report suggests that you may have a typhoid infection. The elevated titers for S Typhi 'O' (1160) and S Typhi 'H' (1180) indicate exposure to Salmonella Typhi. The report also shows some reactivity to S Para Typhi 'AH' and 'BH', which may indicate a past or concurrent Paratyphoid infection. Consult a healthcare professional for interpretation and guidance.

I'm worried because I noticed this white thembal thing on my baby's face. Is this some kind of infection, or could it just be normal for infants? What should I do to treat it?
It sounds like your infant may have oral thrush, which is a common fungal infection in infants. The best treatment for oral thrush in infants is usually an antifungal medication called Nystatin oral suspension. You can apply a small amount to the inside of your baby's mouth several times a day. It's important to continue the treatment for the full course prescribed by your doctor, usually around 7-14 days, even if the symptoms improve before then. Additionally, make sure to sterilize pacifiers, bottle nipples, and any other items that may come into contact with your baby's mouth to prevent reinfection.
