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 a bit worried about my family member. He had a cold on the 14th and 15th, and then on the 16th, he started having a fever along with a headache and pain in both legs, which kept him up all night. Whenever he gets a fever, his legs usually hurt too. Weve been giving him crosin and other meds as advised by a clinic doctor. He seemed okay this morning, but now the pain is back. Hes really sensitive, so Im looking for guidance on how to help him feel better. What do you think we should do?

no they shouldn't be mixed together as they both serve same purpose
