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 really worried about my daughter who's been struggling with pneumonia for the last six years. She had a really bad attack and was admitted to the hospital. Over the past two years, she's been having chest pain and coughs a lot, especially when someone taps on her back. Should I be concerned about these symptoms? What do you think might be causing this, and are there any specific steps I should be taking to help her get better?

I'm really worried about my son because he's got a high viral fever that goes between 101 and 104. We're already doing sponging when his fever hits 103 and following the medicine schedule our pediatrician suggested, which seems to help lower the fever a bit. But someone mentioned it might be a good idea to keep him in an air-conditioned room with the temperature set to around 24-25 degrees. Do you think it's safe or advisable to use the AC when he's dealing with a viral fever?

My toddler just chewed on a Primoult tablet by accident. I cleaned his mouth as soon as I realized, but I'm really worried. If he happened to swallow a tiny bit, could it be harmful? Should I rush him to the hospital or keep an eye on him at home?
Normal Causes* 1. *Overproduction of cervical mucus*: Hormonal fluctuations can cause an increase in cervical mucus production, leading to clear watery discharge. 2. *Ovulation*: During ovulation, the body produces more estrogen, which can cause an increase in cervical mucus. 3. *Hydration*: Drinking plenty of water can cause an increase in cervical mucus production. *Abnormal Causes* 1. *Yeast infection*: A yeast infection can cause a clear, watery discharge with an unpleasant odor. 2. *Bacterial vaginosis*: This bacterial infection can cause a thin, watery discharge with a strong odor. 3. *Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)*: Certain STIs, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea, can cause abnormal discharge. 4. *Hormonal imbalances*: Hormonal changes can cause an increase in cervical mucus production. *Solution* To address the issue: 1. *Practice good hygiene*: Wear breathable clothing, and avoid using scented soaps or douches. 2. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to help flush out your system. 3. *Use panty liners*: Wear panty liners to absorb the discharge and reduce embarrassment. 4. *Consult a doctor*: If the discharge persists, is accompanied by other symptoms (e.g., itching, burning, or odor), or is causing discomfort, consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.
