I'm really worried about my 4-month-old. After every feeding, they seem to have loose motion, and I've noticed it's a yellowish color. Plus, theres some coughing happening. Could this be something serious? What can I do to help my baby?

Your baby may have gastroenteritis, which is inflammation of the stomach and intestines. For loose motions, you can give your baby oral rehydration solution (ORS) to prevent dehydration. You can also give probiotics like Enterogermina to help restore the balance of good bacteria in the gut. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and management.

I'm really concerned about my 5-year-old daughter. Her recent urine test showed pus cells in the range of 8-10 per HPF. Is this something we should be worried about? What's considered normal for a child her age? I'm worried if this could be dangerous...

The normal ratio of pus cells in the urine of a 5-year-old girl is usually less than 5 per high power field (HPF). Therefore, 8-10 pus cells per HPF may indicate an infection. While a UTI is not usually dangerous, it is important to treat it promptly to prevent complications such as kidney infection. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because my 2-month-old baby accidentally swallowed one of my hairs. I saw it on his tongue and tried to get it out, but then he swallowed it. Is this something I should be concerned about?

It is important to monitor for any signs of distress such as difficulty breathing, coughing, or vomiting. In most cases, the hair will pass through the digestive system without causing any issues. However, if you notice any concerning symptoms or if your baby seems to be in discomfort, you should consult a pediatrician.
