My 2-year-old daughter has a fever of 103, and we've tried giving her continuous sponge baths, but it's not coming down. We also gave her 4 ml of Meftal P suspension, but then she vomited an hour later. Should I give her another dose, and when is it safe to give her paracetamol P250 again?

Since fever has just started and she has vomited just once it is best to wait and watch. You can give crocin at 6 hour interval if temperature is above 100F. Also give plenty of fluids such as ORS to avoid dehydration. If however such high fever recurs or vomiting continues or there are any other symptoms you must consult a doctor for physical examination to exclude dehydration or serious causes of fever.

View allI'm worried because my 7-year-old has been dealing with asthma, and we've been using Foracort 200 mg and Montek LC for their treatment. I'm wondering if there are any other medication options we could consider. Can these medicines be changed or adjusted for a child of this age? I'm really hoping to find the best solution to help manage the asthma symptoms better.

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?
You have to do deverming kindly take table Albendazole once in a day ever six months. Wash the anal area with Hot Water and keep it clean.

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?
