My little one is 2 years and 2 months old, and I'm thinking about starting Junior Horlicks Stage 1. I'm unsure what the right age is since I noticed that both the Stage 1 and Stage 2 packs mention not giving it to children under 2 years old, but there's no more detailed age info. Could you help me with when might be a good time to start?

I'm really worried about my daughter Aradhya. She's been getting a fever two or three times every month for the last couple of months. We've seen different pediatricians each time, but they always end up prescribing antibiotics and antipyretics. The meds usually help for a bit, but then a month or two later, the fever's back. Recently, one suggested Septilin syrup, saying her immune system might be weak. Even after ten days on it, she got a fever again. Im feeling stuck and unsure of what to do next. Any advice?

get her complete blood count and chest xray and see if it is normal, then continue the syrup

I'm really worried because my little one has been vomiting for 8 days now. We've already tried giving ceftriaxone injections, but it hasn't helped at all. What should I do next? I've run out of ideas, and it seems like nothing is working. Any guidance would be really appreciated.

do blood test regarding typhoid and then consult your physician
