My toddler just chewed on a Primoult tablet by accident. I cleaned his mouth as soon as I realized, but I'm really worried. If he happened to swallow a tiny bit, could it be harmful? Should I rush him to the hospital or keep an eye on him at home?

Normal Causes*
- Overproduction of cervical mucus: Hormonal fluctuations can cause an increase in cervical mucus production, leading to clear watery discharge.
- Ovulation: During ovulation, the body produces more estrogen, which can cause an increase in cervical mucus.
- Hydration: Drinking plenty of water can cause an increase in cervical mucus production.
Abnormal Causes
- Yeast infection: A yeast infection can cause a clear, watery discharge with an unpleasant odor.
- Bacterial vaginosis: This bacterial infection can cause a thin, watery discharge with a strong odor.
- Sexually transmitted infections (STIs): Certain STIs, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea, can cause abnormal discharge.
- Hormonal imbalances: Hormonal changes can cause an increase in cervical mucus production.
Solution
To address the issue:
- Practice good hygiene: Wear breathable clothing, and avoid using scented soaps or douches.
- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help flush out your system.
- Use panty liners: Wear panty liners to absorb the discharge and reduce embarrassment.
- Consult a doctor: If the discharge persists, is accompanied by other symptoms (e.g., itching, burning, or odor), or is causing discomfort, consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.

View allI've been having this really uncomfortable itching around my anus at night, and it's been driving me crazy because it's making me lose out on sleep. I even noticed some white worms coming from there but only at night. It's a bit concerning because I feel like I need to go to the toilet repeatedly. What could this be? Should I be worried?
You have to do deverming kindly take table Albendazole once in a day ever six months. Wash the anal area with Hot Water and keep it clean.

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?

My younger brother is 12 years and 2 months old. His friend showed him a picture of a naked girl on a phone, and when he saw it, he suddenly had an orgasm and ejaculation without even touching his penis. This was his first time ever experiencing this, and he hasn't tried masturbating before. Is this a normal reaction?
