My son is 9 years old and weighs 28 kg. He's running a temperature, and I already gave him 5ml of Ibugesic, but it hasn't helped lower it. His temperature is at 101.8. Can you help me figure out the right dosage for him?

I'm really curious and a bit worried about my 30-day-old baby's skin. When he was born, his complexion was quite fair, but over time, it seems to have gotten darker. I'm using Tedibar soap for him. Could the change in skin tone be related to the summer heat, or is there something else I should consider?

The darkening of your baby's skin tone is likely due to natural melanin production and adaptation to the environment, rather than the soap or summer heat; continue using gentle, fragrance-free soap like Tedibar, and consider consulting your pediatrician to rule out any underlying conditions, but in most cases, this change is harmless and may stabilize over time

I'm worried because my 1.5-month-old baby cries a lot in the morning and afternoon, turning red. Is it okay to start giving her gripe water? I've been told to stick to only breastfeeding, and I'm really concerned about what's going on.
