My 2-year-old has been having a fever for the past 4 days. We went to the doctor, and he prescribed noble plus and zifi 50, but for the last couple of nights, I've noticed his head gets really hot while the rest of his body stays cold. What could this mean?

Your child may be experiencing fever spikes, where the temperature rises significantly in certain parts of the body. This can sometimes happen during the course of an infection. The medications prescribed by the doctor are noble plus (Paracetamol) for fever and zifi 50 (Cefixime) as an antibiotic. Make sure to give the medications as per the prescribed dosage and frequency. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.

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?

I'm really worried because my 12-year-old daughter accidentally swallowed a date seed. I'm not sure if it will pass through her system safely or if we should consider any specific medication to help with digestion. Can you let me know if there's anything I should watch out for or any precautions we should take?

If your daughter has swallowed a date seed, it is likely to pass through her digestive system without causing any issues. However, it is important to monitor her for any signs of abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing, vomiting, or breathing difficulties. Make sure she stays hydrated and eats high-fiber foods to help the seed pass through her system. If she experiences any severe symptoms or if you are concerned, you can give her a mild laxative like Dulcolax to help move the seed through her system.
