My little one is 4.5 months old and Ive noticed he always keeps his mouth open. Whenever I try to close it, he just opens it wider like he thinks something is coming his way. Is this something I should be concerned about? Could it mean something more...

I'm worried about my 4-year-old who's been having frequent fevers. Every month it's the same story, and all the doctors we've seen keep recommending this P250 syrup. We've already used more than one and a half bottles and there's still no improvement...

Giving P250 (Paracetamol) to your child for fever is a common practice, but it is important to ensure that the dosage is appropriate and does not exceed the recommended limits. P250 contains Paracetamol which is generally safe when taken at the correct dosage. However, excessive use or overdose of Paracetamol can lead to serious health issues, including liver damage. Since your child is experiencing frequent fevers, it is advisable to consult with the doctor to investigate the underlying cause of these recurrent fevers. Depending on the diagnosis, the doctor may recommend alternative treatments or further investigations to address the root cause of the fevers. In the meantime, if your child continues to have fever episodes, you can continue giving P250 as per the doctor's recommendation.

My 3-month-old has some yellowish liquid coming from one of their ears, and I'm really worried about what this might mean. Is this kind of issue something common among babies? Could it turn out to be something serious?

The yellowish liquid discharge from a 3-month-old baby's ear could be due to a middle ear infection (otitis media), earwax buildup, or a blocked Eustachian tube; this is a relatively common issue in infants, but it's essential to consult a pediatrician for a thorough evaluation and guidance on treatment, which may include antibiotics or ear drops, to prevent potential complications like hearing loss or ear drum damage.
