My 4 month old baby has been experiencing constant vomiting for the past month. We recently got a blood test done, and the CRP level came back as 18 mcg per ml. I am concerned about what this means and what could be causing the vomiting.

CRP of 18 mcg per ml in a 4 month old with vomiting may point to infection or inflammation. Please consult a pediatrician urgently. Do not delay, as babies can dehydrate quickly. Maintain hydration with small feeds, and monitor urine output and alertness.

Question

Hi sir or madam, for the last 3 months, my baby motions are watery, sometimes semi solid, and sometimes semi solid with mucus. It happens daily up to 8 times. I have attached the report in this mail. Please share what kind of problem this could be. The doctor told us to stop breastfeeding. Is this correct? What should I do? My baby is 6 months old.

Question

My wife has been suffering from constant stomach pain for the last 15 to 20 days. We visited a doctor and had a blood test that confirmed typhoid. She has been taking medication prescribed by the doctor for one week. After that, we did another blood test and stool examination as advised, and the doctor said the typhoid is cured, but there is still a stomach infection because there is some blood in the stool. She was given another three day course of medicine, but there has been no improvement. Please suggest what we should do next.
