My little one, only 9 months old, has caught lice and nits from his nanny. It's gotten pretty bad, and I'm at a bit of a loss. Is there a safe pediculicide for infants? What should I do?

My son has been having a high fever for the past 4 days and we've been giving him Crocin, but it hasn't helped. We started using Ibugesic after consulting our family doctor, and there's still no improvement. What should we do?

Pediatric opinion is advised to the patient.

My little one is just 6 months old and has been dealing with a cough and some chest congestion. I'm wondering if it's safe to give him Ambrodil S syrup? I'm really concerned about making sure I'm doing the right thing for him, and I'd love some guidance.

I'm a bit worried. I've been using Eytex Kajal to put a bindi on my baby's forehead, and now there's a white spot appearing in that area. I also put a small kajal dot on her cheek, but there are no white spots there. Could you help me understand why this is happening and if there's any medication I can give my 5-month-old baby girl?

The white spot that has appeared on your baby's forehead may be a reaction to the ingredients in the kajal. It is possible that the skin on the forehead is more sensitive compared to the cheek, which is why the white spot only appeared in that area. I recommend stopping the use of the eyetex kajal on your baby's forehead to see if the white spot improves. You can apply a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil lotion on the affected area to help soothe the skin. If the white spot does not improve or if it worsens, please consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and management.
