My little one is 15 months old and she seems to catch colds really easily. At first, the doctor suggested using a steamer for hot steam, but I'm worried about her getting burned. Then, another doctor recommended using a nebulizer with saline water, which gives cold steam. I'm a bit confused. Which method would give her better relief, or do they both work the same way?

Both steam inhalation and nebulization with saline can help manage cold symptoms, Nebulization is typically safer

View allCan I give suji halwa or kheer to my 8-month-old boy if he's been having loose stools for a week? Is suji good for him right now?
For an 8-month-old baby experiencing loose stools, it is important to focus on easily digestible foods. Suji (semolina) can be a good option as it is gentle on the stomach and can help firm up the stools. You can prepare suji halwa with minimal sugar and ghee for your baby. Additionally, you can also give your baby rice-based foods like rice water or rice cereal. Make sure to continue breastfeeding or formula feeding to prevent dehydration. If the loose stools persist or worsen, please consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and management.

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.

Can I use a cream with salicylic acid in the morning and a cleanser with salicylic acid at night? Would it be too much for my skin? I'm really curious if combining them might irritate my skin or if it's safe to do both. What do you think?
it would cause mild burns or rashes so try to include it slowly to your skincare starting with facewash
