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?

I'm really concerned about my 9-month-old baby. He's been vomiting since morning and hasn't eaten anything all day. He keeps crying, and it's breaking my heart. I'm not sure what could be wrong. Yesterday, we took him to the mall, and he tried a spoonful of halwa. This morning, he had some egg and roti with milk. Now, he's vomited at least 34 times; it's all watery. Today's Sunday, and all the local doctors are closed. Any idea what could be causing this or what I should do?

You can take online consultation with pediatrician for evaluation and appropriate management.

My son is 4 years old and he's been having this cough with mucus for a while. Every time he coughs, I can feel and hear the mucus in his lungs, but it just won't come out. It's really worrying me. Our doctor suggested giving him Montair LC Kid syrup for four days, and mentioned that if things don't get better, we'd have to try nebulization. When I looked up Montair LC, it seemed to be more for allergies or asthma. Is it really safe to give him this syrup, and will it actually help with the mucus in his chest?

Yes ,continue same treatment.

I'm really worried about my 4 and a half-month-old daughter. She's got these small red pimple-like spots on her cheeks, just a few of them. I spoke to a doctor who suggested using Physiogel Hypoallergenic moisturizer, but after applying it for two days, there's been no improvement. Are these spots normal, or is there something else I should be doing? I've attached a picture for reference.

yes,visit your foe appropriate management
