What should I do if my child accidentally drinks nail polish? I'm really worried and wondering how quickly we need to see a doctor. Are there any home remedies we can try if we can't get to a hospital right away?

I'm really worried about my 2-year-old son. He had surgery on his head a few weeks ago, and the doctor prescribed him 5ml of Advent twice a day. Now it's been about three weeks post-surgery, and today he's having really bad diarrhea and headaches. I've tried giving him oranges to help, but I'm not sure if that's enough. Can you give me some advice on what I should do next?

Stop advent, diarrhoea is its side effect.

My 2-year-old daughter has a fever of 103, and we've tried giving her continuous sponge baths, but it's not coming down. We also gave her 4 ml of Meftal P suspension, but then she vomited an hour later. Should I give her another dose, and when is it safe to give her paracetamol P250 again?

Since fever has just started and she has vomited just once it is best to wait and watch. You can give crocin at 6 hour interval if temperature is above 100F. Also give plenty of fluids such as ORS to avoid dehydration. If however such high fever recurs or vomiting continues or there are any other symptoms you must consult a doctor for physical examination to exclude dehydration or serious causes of fever.

I'm a bit worried about my 7-year-old son. I used to give him PEDIASURE, but he started putting on weight and lost his appetite after around three years, so I stopped. I've heard people say that all those drinks are similar, and he was having COMPLAN too, but I've stopped that as well. I'm just trying to figure out what's true and whether I should be adding anything to his milk or just keep it plain. If I should add something, what would be best for him?
