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 wondering if it's safe for my 13-month-old to take gripe water while she's dealing with a throat infection. She's currently on medication for it, and I just want to make sure adding gripe water won't interfere or cause any issues. Could it possibly help soothe her symptoms, or should we steer clear since she's on other meds right now?

No dont give grype water until she is free from infection,istead of grype water you can use neipeptine drops or colicaid ez drops

So, I've been dealing with this fever situation where it's been recurring every 4 weeks. In the first and second weeks, the fever was really high, like between 104.1 and 104.5. We were advised to use Calpol by the doctor. And now, in the 4th week, the fever is back again. I'm really concerned about this pattern. Do you have any thoughts on what might be causing this or what steps we should take next?

That needs details evaluation, visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management
