My daughter is 2 and a half years old and she's been dealing with a cold and cough since January. We saw a doctor who gave us some medicine, which helped with the cold but her cough hasn't gone away. She tends to cough especially at night while she's sleeping and again when she wakes up in the morning. We went back to the doctor and he mentioned that it might be early asthma symptoms and suggested we try LEVOLIN syrup for 5 days. He seemed optimistic and said asthma in kids can be cured with medicine. I'm really worried and curious about how common this is in young children and if there's anything specific I should watch for or do to help her. Does this seem like the right approach?

View allI'm really worried about my child. She's eating well, but she just isn't growing like I expected. She weighs 19 kg. Could this be related to worms or something else? Should I consider getting her dewormed, or is there another reason why this might be happening?

My little girl is 2 and almost 11 months and just a couple of days ago, she came down with a fever. We got a urine routine test done and the results mentioned that ketones were present at 50.0 mgdl and pus cells are at 10-15 WBCHPF. I'm really worried about the ketones; are they something dangerous? What should I be aware of or do next?
Pre-Pregnancy Concerns and Symptoms _Pregnancy Possibility_ 1. _Low risk, but possible_: While the risk of pregnancy from non-penetrative sexual activity is low, it's not impossible, especially if there was pre-ejaculation or ejaculation near the vaginal opening. 2. _Pre-ejaculation fluid can contain sperm_: Pre-ejaculation fluid can contain sperm, which can potentially fertilize an egg. _Symptoms and Early Signs of Pregnancy_ 1. _Common symptoms_: Burps (gas), constipation, nipple pain, and pimple formation can be early signs of pregnancy, but they can also be caused by other factors, such as hormonal changes, stress, or digestive issues. 2. _Not conclusive evidence_: These symptoms alone do not confirm pregnancy. _Next Steps_ 1. _Take a pregnancy test_: Wait until after your expected period (around 4-5 days after your missed period) and take a home pregnancy test (HPT) or visit a healthcare provider for a blood test. 2. _Consult a healthcare provider_: If you're concerned about pregnancy or experiencing symptoms, consult a healthcare provider for guidance and support.
