I've just had wax removed from my five-year-old's ear yesterday, but now he's suddenly experiencing pain in one ear and can't sleep. I'm looking for any immediate solutions that might help him get some rest tonight. I'll be taking him to the doctor tomorrow, but what can I do for him right now?

View allI'm really worried because my 5-year-old has been having loose motions since yesterday. We have Econorm sachets at home, but I'm not sure about the right dosage for her. Could you advise me on how much I should give her?
You can give one sachet two times a day

My baby boy is 9 months old and he's been having loose motions since last Friday. We saw a pediatrician who recommended giving him Nutrolin B twice a day and a Zinc Dry Powder Suspension once a day. Over the weekend, he had about 7 to 8 stools each day. Today, it's been 5 times so far. What's really worrying me is that his last 3 stools have been dark green in color. Should I be concerned about this? Do you think I should take him back to the pediatrician right away?

I'm really worried because my niece accidentally swallowed a coin yesterday. We had an x-ray done, and it showed that the coin is now in her stomach. The doctor advised us to just wait, but today she went to the bathroom and passed stool, and the coin still hasn't come out. She's acting normally and doing all her usual activities, which is a relief, but I'm still concerned. Should I be doing anything else, or when should I be worried?
wait
