My 5-month-old baby is having really bad loose motions, probably because of the antibiotics Advent that he's taking for ear pain. I'm giving him Enterogermina, but he's still having loose stools about 7 to 8 times a day. I'm really worried since he's so little, and the antibiotic course is still going on. What should I do to help him?

Fever for 4 days can be concerning.
Parasitamol (Acetaminophen)
- Temporarily relieves fever: Parasitamol can help reduce fever, but it doesn't address the underlying cause.
- Not a cure-all: While parasitamol can provide temporary relief, it's essential to identify and treat the underlying cause of your fever.
Consult a Doctor
- Prolonged fever: Fever lasting more than 3-4 days requires medical attention.
- Underlying cause: A doctor can help determine the cause of your fever, which could be a viral or bacterial infection, or another underlying condition.
- Cough and other symptoms: Although your cough is rare, it's still important to mention it to your doctor, as it could be related to your fever.
Please consult a doctor to:
- Determine the underlying cause of your fever.
- Receive proper treatment and guidance.
- Rule out any complications or underlying conditions.

View allI'm really worried because my 5-month-old son accidentally got a small cut on his finger while I was trimming his nails. There were just a couple of drops of blood, and I immediately applied Dettol to the area. But now I'm concerned about the possibility of tetanus. Do you think there's a risk? Should I get him a shot just to be safe?
Since the wound was minor with only a few drops of blood and you applied Dettol, the risk of tetanus infection is low; however, as a precautionary measure, consult your pediatrician, who may recommend a tetanus toxoid injection if your child hasn't received the first three doses of the DTaP vaccine or if the wound is deep or dirty.

I'm really worried about my 10-month-old baby girl. She had a high fever and a febrile seizure, so we had an MRI, EEG, and ultrasound done, but thankfully all the reports came back normal. We're giving her Taxim O, 3 ml, as an antibiotic. I'm concerned about giving antibiotics frequently and if there are any side effects we should watch for. Also, I've noticed she's passing urine more often than usual. Is that something to be alarmed about, or could it be normal? If you have any other advice, Id really appreciate it.

I'm really worried because while my daughter sleeps, she suddenly starts coughing, and it keeps going for a bit. Its concerning since sometimes yellow liquid with bits of food comes out while she's asleep. What could this be? Should I be doing something about it?
That could be GERD vist Gastroenterologist for evaluation and appropriate management.
