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.

I have been experiencing diarrhea for the past 8 days after receiving the Covishield vaccination. My recent blood reports, including CRP and CBC, are normal. Could you please advise what steps I should take to manage and overcome this issue?

My son is passing stools three times a day, two times normally and once in very small quantity. The doctor suggested a stool test. The results of stool tests are attached. After the first test, Walamycin was prescribed for 5 days. I gave it for 3 days and stopped because his stools became normal. However, in the retest, I see pus cells again in his stool. Please suggest what should be done next.

Hello Sir/Madam. My daughter stool test report came (we got it done as her stool had mucus and white flakes). I just want to know if the reports are okay? By the way, she is generally fine and gaining weight normally.
