My 3-year-old son has had a runny nose and viral fever frequently over the past two years. Weve been to the doctor, and they prescribed some meds, but they don't seem to be working. For his fever, they've given us Ibugesic, and for his cough and cold, they suggested something else. I'm really concerned, could you give us some advice on what else we might try or what could be going on?

It seems your son may have recurrent viral infections, which can sometimes be common in young children due to their developing immune system. I recommend discussing with your pediatrician about further investigations, such as assessing for allergies or other underlying conditions. In the meantime, maintaining good hydration, rest, and using prescribed medications as directed can help manage symptoms.

I'm a new mom and currently breastfeeding my 1-month-old baby. I've been experiencing a fever and I'm wondering if it's safe for me to take Crocin Advance tablets. If it's okay to take them, what would be the right dosage?

Possible Causes:_ 1. *Gum bleeding*: Gingivitis or gum inflammation can cause bleeding. 2. *Dry mouth*: Reduced saliva production can lead to bleeding gums. 3. *Oral trauma*: Injury to the mouth, tongue, or lips can cause bleeding. 4. *Dental issues*: Tooth decay, abscess, or gum disease can cause bleeding. _What to Do:_ 1. *Visit a dentist*: Schedule an appointment to rule out underlying dental issues. 2. *Maintain good oral hygiene*: Brush and floss regularly to prevent gum disease. 3. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to keep your mouth moist. 4. *Avoid smoking and tobacco*: These can exacerbate gum disease and oral health issues.

I'm really worried because my wife started taking Cabgolin 0.25 mg to stop breastfeeding our daughter, but now our little one isn't feeling well and is really upset, constantly asking for breast milk. We couldn't do much else, so my wife ended up breastfeeding her again. Is this going to be harmful to our daughter?

usually there are no such complications no need to worry

I'm worried about what my friend can eat right now. He's had chickenpox for three days and feels really weak. Is it okay for him to have rice and dal without any tadka? Or is there something else he should be eating?
