My baby girl just turned 4 months old and started her 5th month. Our pediatrician suggested we start her on solids. I'm wondering what the best solids are to begin with at this age. I've already made some ragi malt and boiled rice kanji at home. What's the best way to prepare kanji for my baby? Is it okay to add formula or expressed breast milk to it? If I introduce solid food once a day, how many milk feeds should she still have? What other solids would be suitable for her age? I'm also curious about the best way to feed her ragi kanji. She really doesn't like palada. Would using a bottle, cup and spoon, or sipper be better for her? I'd appreciate some guidance.

View allMy 2-year-old daughter has a fever of 103, and we've tried giving her continuous sponge baths, but it's not coming down. We also gave her 4 ml of Meftal P suspension, but then she vomited an hour later. Should I give her another dose, and when is it safe to give her paracetamol P250 again?
Since fever has just started and she has vomited just once it is best to wait and watch. You can give crocin at 6 hour interval if temperature is above 100F. Also give plenty of fluids such as ORS to avoid dehydration. If however such high fever recurs or vomiting continues or there are any other symptoms you must consult a doctor for physical examination to exclude dehydration or serious causes of fever.

Can I give my 10-year-old son the dynapar tablet more than three times a day for his ear pain? Are there any side effects I should be worried about?
It's not safe to give Dynapar more than 3 times a day for a 10-year-old, as it may cause side effects like stomach irritation or kidney issues. Stick to the prescribed dosage, and if the pain persists, consult a doctor for further guidance.

My baby has been experiencing loose motion for the past couple of days and Im really worried. Is there any syrup or remedy you could suggest to help?
For a 1-year-old with loose motions, consult a pediatrician before administering any medication; however, they may recommend an oral rehydration solution like Pedialyte or Electral, and in some cases, a probiotic syrup like Lactobacillus or Saccharomyces boulardii to help restore gut balance.
