I've been smoking for about four months now and I'm just 16. I'm really worried if this might have stunted my growth or if there's something I can do to recover from it. Can smoking actually affect my height at this age?

I'm wondering if it's okay to use Smyle ulcer gel for my four-year-old. Could you let me know if it's safe? Your advice would really help us out as parents.
Its best to consult your pediatrician before using Smyle Ulcer Gel or any similar products on a child under 5 years old. The doctor may recommend alternative treatments that are both safe and effective for your childs age.

my 5-month-old baby weighs 6.5 kg and needs to gain weight for her cleft palate surgery right now she's on formula milk around 800ml daily plus some ragi porridge and occasional breast milk since my supply is low i try feeding her 90ml every 2 hours but she refuses to take 150ml at once like the doctor suggested what else can i feed her to help her gain weight faster
Every child is different. One child may take 90ml every 2 hours and one child may take 180ml and remain full for 4 to 6 hours. So need not worry. Also weight gain is good. Continue what you are doing and don't force feed.
