My baby has been having a fever since Wednesday, and the doctor gave us Meftal P syrup because her temperature is pretty high. I'm wondering, is it okay to give her the syrup every six hours or every four hours since her fever isn't coming down? I'm really concerned about making sure she's comfortable and getting better.

For children, Meftal P syrup can be given every 6-8 hours as needed for fever. The usual recommended dosage is 7-10 mg per kg of body weight per dose. However, it is important to consult with your doctor for the exact dosage based on your baby's weight and age. Make sure not to exceed the maximum daily dose.

View allMy daughter had her 6-week vaccinations on March 8th, and since then, she's had a lump on her thigh. The doctor suggested using hot water treatment, but there's still a small lump there. Could you give me some advice on what else I should do or if this is normal?
Is it normal to get a lump after an injection? Getting a lump under your skin is a normal and expected injection site reaction. The lump may be painful or tender. As with other symptoms related to injection site reactions, get medical attention if your symptoms last longer than 1 to 2 days or get worse.

I'm really concerned because my baby has fallen off the bed three times now. Each time, he landed on his tummy, and thankfully his head didn't get hurt. He's in his ninth month and seems active and normal now. I'm just worried if these falls might cause any problems in the future. Should I be concerned about anything?
If the baby is active, no bleeding and no vomiting, then usually no need to worry. Keep a close watch for 48 hours.

I'm having trouble finding a place in Gurgaon where they give polio drops. We're keeping up with regular immunization like DPT, but I'm wondering if we also need to join these government polio drop programs. Is it necessary?
Since your child is already receiving regular immunizations, including DPT, they are likely protected against polio. However, participating in government-led polio drop programs can provide additional protection, especially since India is still at risk of wild poliovirus importation. To find a place in Gurgaon where polio drops are administered, you can try contacting local health authorities or visiting the National Health Mission website for more information. Additionally, you can reach out to your child's pediatrician for guidance on polio vaccination and drops.
