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 and need some advice. My 4-year-old daughter was playing when a monkey grabbed her with its claws. During the escape, she ended up with a minor scratch on her shoulder from the monkey's nails. My wife cleaned the area with Dettol and took her to a local clinic where she got a tetanus shot. Do you think she needs to get an anti-rabies vaccination too?
To be on the safer side, it is best to opt to take rabies vaccination also.

I'm really worried because my 18-month-old son needs his IPV and Hib vaccines, but our doctor says they're not available. It's been over two weeks since he was supposed to get them. What should I do? Is there a way to find where the vaccines might be available, or should I be concerned about the delay?
A creatinine level of 2.3 is considered high and may not be safe for angiography. High creatinine levels can indicate kidney damage or disease, which may be exacerbated by the contrast dye used in angiography . To reduce high creatinine levels, consider the following: - *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to help your kidneys function properly. - *Follow a low-protein diet*: Excessive protein can put strain on your kidneys. - *Limit salt and sugar intake*: Both can exacerbate kidney damage. - *Exercise regularly*: Regular physical activity can help improve kidney function. - *Manage underlying conditions*: If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or other conditions that can affect kidney function, work with your doctor to manage them effectively. Given your continuously rising creatinine levels, it's essential to consult with your doctor to determine the best course of action. They may recommend alternative tests or procedures that don't involve contrast dye.

I'm really worried about my 8-year-old daughter. She had COVID back in September and then pneumonia in November, which got her hospitalized. We managed to get her treated, but now, in mid-February, she's come down with a fever, cold, and wet cough again. Our pediatrician did an X-ray and it's pneumonia once more, and they mentioned it's viral. We've been taking such good care of her since November, so I'm just so confused as to why it's happening again. Do you think she needs more tests or investigations to figure this out? What should we do next?
