My little one had a fever since Sunday and while shes getting better, it seems like her throat might be infected now. Her voice is super low, almost like she's whispering. Do you have any quick advice for me? Shes only 3.5 years old and isnt a fan of turmeric milk or salt water. What can I do?

View allMy son has had a fever since yesterday afternoon and I gave him paracetamol, which seemed to help for a bit. This morning, we saw a doctor nearby who advised on cidaflox 100 and macfast syrup. But now, his fever is up to 102. What should I do?
Cidaflox-100: This is an antibiotic (Ciprofloxacin) that is often used for bacterial infections. Ensure that you give the full course as prescribed, even if the fever improves. Don't stop the medication early unless instructed by the doctor. Macfast Syrup: This is typically used to treat gastrointestinal symptoms or inflammation if the fever continues to rise despite medication, or if new symptoms develop (e.g., rash, difficulty breathing, persistent vomiting, severe headache, or persistent pain), consult a doctor immediately. If your son experiences any side effects or signs of an allergic reaction to the medication (such as rashes, swelling, or difficulty breathing), stop the medication and seek medical attention right away.Continue paracetamol as per the prescribed dosage for fever control. Ensure hydration and rest. Monitor symptoms regularly, especially if the fever persists or worsens. Consult the doctor if the fever does not respond to treatment, or if new symptoms develop.

I'm really worried about something my girlfriend told me. Back when she was in 2nd grade, there was this boy just a few months younger than her who tried to have sex with her. She mentioned that he tried to put his penis inside her, but she can't remember if he was actually successful. I'm just trying to understand if that means she lost her virginity back then or not. Is it possible she's still considered a virgin?
The experience your girlfriend described is a traumatic event, and it's essential to prioritize her emotional well-being; regarding virginity, it's a complex and personal concept, but from a medical perspective, if penetration occurred, her hymen might have been damaged, but if penetration didn't occur or was incomplete, her hymen might still be intact, though it's essential to remember that the hymen's state doesn't definitively determine virginity.

My child has a really high fever, and their temperature is at 102F. The doctor suggested giving them Meftal, but even after taking one dose, the fever hasn't gone down. What should I do next, should I keep giving the medication or try something else? I'm really worried and could use some advice.
The medication Meftal is commonly used to reduce fever and relieve pain. In this case, since the fever is still high at 102F after taking Meftal, you can consider giving your child Acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) at a dose appropriate for their age and weight. It is important to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging or as advised by your doctor. Additionally, make sure your child stays hydrated and dress them lightly to help reduce the fever. If the fever persists or if your child's condition worsens, please consult your doctor for further evaluation.
