My 10-year-old daughter had a fever, which thankfully went away after she took cefprozil, Alex PBifilac, and Pritexylls junior. However, she's still dealing with a really annoying dry cough, especially at night, which is making it hard for her to sleep well. We started giving her Kasnajiva and SeptilinhIMALAYA yesterday, but the cough hasn't improved much. Do you have any suggestions on what we should do next or if there's something else we could try? I'm really worried about her lack of sleep.

My toddler, whos 18 months old, has been passing pale yellow stool regularly. He has a slight cold right now, but even before the cold, his stool was the same color. He eats mung dal khichdi, Cerelac 4th stage, vegetable soup, and dal rice often. Should I be concerned about his stool color, or is this normal?

That looks healthy according the food habbits,no need to worry,do deworming under guidance of your Pediatrician

I'm really worried and need some advice. My 4-year-old daughter was playing when a monkey grabbed her with its claws. During the escape, she ended up with a minor scratch on her shoulder from the monkey's nails. My wife cleaned the area with Dettol and took her to a local clinic where she got a tetanus shot. Do you think she needs to get an anti-rabies vaccination too?

To be on the safer side, it is best to opt to take rabies vaccination also.

I'm wondering about what's happening with my 6-month-old baby. We've been putting coconut oil in his ears every day, and now it seems like there's this wax-like substance covering them. Should we keep doing this, or is it something we should stop?

No you are harming the baby, visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management.
