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.

My baby is 2.5 months old now. When she was just 2 weeks old, she needed to go through phototherapy for jaundice and was also in the NICU due to low birth weight. Since the therapy, her skin has become much darker, even though she was really fair whe...

The darkening of your baby's skin after phototherapy for jaundice is likely due to the treatment's effect on melanin production; however, it's essential to consult your pediatrician to rule out any underlying conditions, and in the meantime, maintain good skincare habits, such as gentle bathing, moisturizing, and sun protection, and avoid using any harsh or bleaching products on your baby's skin.

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.
