My baby's lips have started turning a blackish color over the last couple of days. She's eating normally, and everything seems fine in that department. However, she's passing liquid stool, and I'm concerned it might be related to the heat here. Could you provide some guidance on what might be happening?

It's good to hear that your baby is feeding well. Blackish lips can sometimes be due to dehydration or a lack of oxygen, but its important to monitor if this persists. The liquid stools could indeed be due to the heat; keep her well-hydrated, and if the symptoms continue or worsen, Id recommend a pediatricians consultation for a thorough checkup.

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.

My 2-year-old daughter has a fever of 103, and we've tried giving her continuous sponge baths, but it's not coming down. We also gave her 4 ml of Meftal P suspension, but then she vomited an hour later. Should I give her another dose, and when is it ...

Since fever has just started and she has vomited just once it is best to wait and watch. You can give crocin at 6 hour interval if temperature is above 100F. Also give plenty of fluids such as ORS to avoid dehydration. If however such high fever recurs or vomiting continues or there are any other symptoms you must consult a doctor for physical examination to exclude dehydration or serious causes of fever.

I'm wondering if it's okay to give my 18-month-old NAN Pro powder stage 4. It just seems like my little one isn't gaining much weight. I've heard that NAN can help with baby weight gain. Is it safe, and could there be any side effects I should know about?

NAN Pro powder stage 4 is not recommended for children below 2 years of age. It is specifically formulated for older toddlers. For weight gain in younger children, you can consider using Pediasure. It is a nutritional supplement that can help with weight gain in children. The recommended dosage for Pediasure is 1-2 servings per day, as advised by your pediatrician. Always consult with your child's pediatrician before starting any new supplement.

Your child may be experiencing fever spikes, where the temperature rises significantly in certain parts of the body. This can sometimes happen during the course of an infection. The medications prescribed by the doctor are noble plus (Paracetamol) for fever and zifi 50 (Cefixime) as an antibiotic. Make sure to give the medications as per the prescribed dosage and frequency. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.
