Question 1

I'm really worried about my baby's skin. He was born 25 days ago with fair and reddish skin, but now he's starting to get a little darker each day. My mom uses coconut oil on his face and body before his bath and then cleans him with gram powder instead of soap. Is there anything I can do to maintain his original skin color?

Accepted Answer

dark skin tone is also normal and equally healthy,if you ar concerned much there many treatment plans,visit Dermatologist for appropriate management

Question 2

I'm really worried about my daughter Aradhya. She's been getting a fever two or three times every month for the last couple of months. We've seen different pediatricians each time, but they always end up prescribing antibiotics and antipyretics. The meds usually help for a bit, but then a month or two later, the fever's back. Recently, one suggested Septilin syrup, saying her immune system might be weak. Even after ten days on it, she got a fever again. Im feeling stuck and unsure of what to do next. Any advice?

Accepted Answer

get her complete blood count and chest xray and see if it is normal, then continue the syrup

Question 3

My little girl is 7 months and a few days old, and she weighs 8.8 kg. She's been having this dry cough, especially noticeable when she sleeps, but otherwise, she's doing great. When she was around 5 months, the doctor recommended maxtra syrup for her cough. Is it okay for me to give her the maxtra syrup now, and if so, what's the appropriate dose for her weight?

Accepted Answer

That could be due to allergy,try to identify the allergen and avoid it, visit Pediatrician for evaluation and appropriate management  and corrected dose and frequency

My 3-year-old has had a fever, cough, and cold since last Saturday, and I've been giving him Crocin, Augmentin DDS, and Amrox Junior. But he still seems to have the same symptoms. I'm really worried and not sure what else to do. Can you suggest any changes or next steps?

Cold is caused by a virus. Antibiotics will not help.
