My son has been diagnosed with the early stages of pneumonia and asthma. We've been told to use Asthalene and Budocret inhalers for him. Is it safe for a 4-year-old to use these inhalers? How long do you think he'll need to use them for his condition to improve? He's also currently taking Montair 5 mg and Zecom syrup. Would love some guidance on this.

View allMy little girl is 2 and almost 11 months and just a couple of days ago, she came down with a fever. We got a urine routine test done and the results mentioned that ketones were present at 50.0 mgdl and pus cells are at 10-15 WBCHPF. I'm really worried about the ketones; are they something dangerous? What should I be aware of or do next?
Pre-Pregnancy Concerns and Symptoms _Pregnancy Possibility_ 1. _Low risk, but possible_: While the risk of pregnancy from non-penetrative sexual activity is low, it's not impossible, especially if there was pre-ejaculation or ejaculation near the vaginal opening. 2. _Pre-ejaculation fluid can contain sperm_: Pre-ejaculation fluid can contain sperm, which can potentially fertilize an egg. _Symptoms and Early Signs of Pregnancy_ 1. _Common symptoms_: Burps (gas), constipation, nipple pain, and pimple formation can be early signs of pregnancy, but they can also be caused by other factors, such as hormonal changes, stress, or digestive issues. 2. _Not conclusive evidence_: These symptoms alone do not confirm pregnancy. _Next Steps_ 1. _Take a pregnancy test_: Wait until after your expected period (around 4-5 days after your missed period) and take a home pregnancy test (HPT) or visit a healthcare provider for a blood test. 2. _Consult a healthcare provider_: If you're concerned about pregnancy or experiencing symptoms, consult a healthcare provider for guidance and support.

I'm a bit concerned because my baby is 13 months old and I noticed there's no scar or mark from the BCG vaccine she got when she was 6 days old. The doctor is suggesting to give another BCG vaccine. Does this sound safe to you?

I'm really worried about my 9-year-old daughter. She fell down the stairs and hurt her back. It's swollen about 3 cm above the base of her spine, and she's complaining about pain in her knees, even though she didn't hit them. She also feels pain in her back when she lifts small things like her iPad. We've been using an ice pack on the swollen area, and she's lying on her belly right now. She can still walk and sit, but her back is very painful. The swelling is starting to go down a bit. I'm worried and not sure what to do next or what to watch out for. Could this lead to something serious? What should I be looking out for?
Visit your nearest hospital immediately and get xray spine done to look for any fracture and follow your doctors advice
