My daughter has been dealing with a cold for the last three weeks, and just recently, over the past two days, I've noticed tiny black particles coming from her runny nose. She has also had a fever three times this month. Right now, she's only showing cold symptoms. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

View allI'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?

I'm trying to decide between Nan Pro and Lactogen for my 8-month-old baby. Can you help me understand the differences and which one might be better? I'm really curious about the benefits of each formula and if there's one that's more suited for my baby at this stage.
Nan Pro and Lactogen are both infant formulas, but they have some differences in their composition. Nan Pro is a specially formulated infant formula that contains probiotics and is designed to support healthy gut flora in infants. It also contains DHA, ARA, and essential vitamins and minerals for overall growth and development. For an 8-month-old baby, you can consider using Nan Pro 2, which is suitable for infants from 6 months onwards. On the other hand, Lactogen is also an infant formula that provides essential nutrients for infants. It does not contain probiotics like Nan Pro, but it is still a good option for infant nutrition. For an 8-month-old baby, you can use Lactogen 2, which is suitable for infants from 6 months onwards. Both Nan Pro and Lactogen are good options for infant nutrition, but the choice between the two may depend on your baby's specific needs and any recommendations from your pediatrician.

I'm really worried about my 3-year-old who has a fever of 101. His weight is around 12 kg, and I have Calpol syrup 250 mg at home. Can you let me know how much I should be giving him to help bring the fever down? Is this the right dosage for his age and weight?
For a 3-year-old child weighing 12kg with a 101F fever, the recommended dosage of Calpol 250mg syrup is 5-7.5ml (1.25-1.875mgkg) every 4-6 hours, not exceeding 4 doses in 24 hours;
