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?

I'm really worried about my son. He's been dealing with a cough and chest congestion for almost a month now. We went to see the doctor, and after a throat swab test, they said it's staphylococcus aureus, a type of gram positive cocci. Hes also not eating well these days and has lost about 2 kgs. What kind of treatment should we be looking at for this?

I'm really worried about my 4-year-old daughter's ear pain. We already saw a doctor, and they gave us some drops to put in her ear, mentioning there was an infection or fungus. I followed the instructions, but she's still complaining of pain. Could you let me know why this might be happening? Is there anything else I should try or be looking out for?
