I'm really worried about my 14-month-old daughter; she's not walking yet, just crawling, and her weight seems quite low at 7.2 kg. She was 2.8 kg at birth. I'm not breastfeeding anymore and I've been giving her cow's milk along with soft food three times a day. She eats well, but she's having stools 2 to 3 times daily. The doctor recommended Bevcon syrup for a month, but I'm not sure if that's enough. Could you suggest what else I should consider or if there's another syrup that might help?

Congratulations on your recent marriage!

A 26-27 day menstrual cycle is considered normal. Typical menstrual cycle length: 21-35 days.

However, your recent weight gain (8kg in 3 months) may affect hormone levels and fertility. Consider:

  • Healthy eating habits
  • Regular exercise
  • Consult your gynecologist for personalized advice

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle will benefit your overall well-being and reproductive health.

I'm a bit worried about my 3-month-old baby. I've been feeding them both formula milk, specifically Lactogen, and breast milk since they were 2 months old. Everything seemed fine, but lately, I've noticed they've started having greenish stools for about a week now. I'm thinking about switching from Lactogen to Nan Pro. Is it safe to make this change? And why might their stools be green?

Marijuana does not directly affect HIV test results. HIV tests detect antibodies or antigens related to the virus, not substances like marijuana. However, if you're concerned about your HIV test result or CBC variations, consider the following: 1. _Window period_: HIV tests may not detect the virus if taken too early after exposure. The window period varies depending on the test type. 2. _Test sensitivity_: No test is 100% accurate. False negatives can occur. 3. _CBC variations_: Changes in your CBC results might be unrelated to HIV or marijuana use. To alleviate your concerns: 1. _Retest_: Consider retesting for HIV after the recommended window period. 2. _Consult a healthcare professional_: Discuss your test results, marijuana use, and any concerns with a doctor or counselor.

My 6-year-old son has been dealing with allergic bronchitis and it seems like he gets it frequently. He had a little bit of cold curd yesterday and now he's started coughing. I've been using a nebulizer for him and I remember his doctor once mentioned that it's okay to nebulize him every half hour if things get severe. I'm just worried though, is it really safe to do that or are there potential side effects I should be aware of? His father's side of the family does have a history of asthma.

yes you can nebulize every half an hour , of symptoms gets reduced then you can take
