My baby is dealing with a runny nose and weighs about 5.5 kg. Could you suggest the right dose of Maxtra drops for a 7-month-old? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate your guidance.

View allI'm a mother of a 4-month-old baby and I'm currently breastfeeding. I got the Covishield vaccine this morning and I'm wondering if it's safe for me to take Dolo 650 while I'm breastfeeding. Is that something you'd recommend?
Congratulations on reaching this milestone! At 5 months 6 days, you can introduce Cerelac as a supplementary food. For your baby's age, suitable Cerelac options are: Cerelac Wheat (single-grain cereal) Cerelac Rice (single-grain cereal) Consult your pediatrician before introducing any new food. Always follow the instructions on the packaging and prepare the cereal as recommended.

My child recently had a fever, so we took him to the child care hospital. They did some blood and urine tests, and the doctor told us everything was normal. However, I noticed that the neutrophil count in his WBC was quite low. The tested count came in at 12, whereas I believe the actual count should be around 1744. Should I be worried about these low neutrophil levels?
A low neutrophil count, also known as neutropenia, can make your child more susceptible to infections. In this case, since the tested count is 12% and the normal range is 17-44%, it is slightly below the normal range. To help increase the neutrophil count and boost your child's immune system, you can consider giving them supplements like Neupogen (Filgrastim) at a dosage recommended by the doctor. Additionally, ensuring your child maintains good hygiene practices and eats a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables can also help improve their immune system. It is important to follow up with the doctor for further evaluation and monitoring of your child's neutrophil count to ensure it returns to the normal range. Regular check-ups and blood tests may be recommended to track the progress.

I'm really concerned because my baby has fallen off the bed three times now. Each time, he landed on his tummy, and thankfully his head didn't get hurt. He's in his ninth month and seems active and normal now. I'm just worried if these falls might cause any problems in the future. Should I be concerned about anything?
If the baby is active, no bleeding and no vomiting, then usually no need to worry. Keep a close watch for 48 hours.
