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 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

I'm feeling pretty worried because my 6-month-old baby accidentally got a piece of paper in his mouth. I managed to get some of it out, but I'm not sure if he swallowed the rest or if it's still in there. What should I do now? Is there a chance it could cause any harm or should I just keep an eye on him for any symptoms?

Minors ingesting minuscule paper pass them through stools. If the child has any sort of choking, gagging, fast breathing please make sure to go to the local paediatrician.

I'm trying to figure out how much milk my 2.7-year-old son should be drinking. He weighs 13.7 kg. Also, I'm curious if there are any specific health drinks you'd recommend and how often or how much he should have them. And by the way, is it alright to add a bit of sugar to things like idly or curd for him at this age?
