I've been having this really uncomfortable itching around my anus at night, and it's been driving me crazy because it's making me lose out on sleep. I even noticed some white worms coming from there but only at night. It's a bit concerning because I feel like I need to go to the toilet repeatedly. What could this be? Should I be worried?

How much Flexon syrup should I give my child who weighs 12 kilograms? Should I calculate the dosage like we do for paracetamol at 15ml per kg? I'm a bit confused about how to get this right for my little one.

-For a child weighing 12 kg, the dose of Flexon syrup should generally be calculated based on the recommended dose per kg, similar to how you calculate paracetamol. However, the exact dosage of Flexon syrup varies, so it's best to follow the instructions

I'm really worried about my 6-month-old son. It's been raining a lot, and he ended up with a cold. We didn't clean his ears properly, and we also kept a cap on him, which I think might have led to some pus in his ears. The pediatrician gave us Clavam Bid drops, and we're giving him 2.5 ml three times a day for a week. But now, on the second day of taking it, he's experiencing loose motions after drinking breast milk, and we're not feeding him any solids. What should we do?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
