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, or is it just a phase?

-It sounds like your little one is still learning about his surroundings and his mouth is one of the first areas he explores. It's completely normal for babies at this age to have their mouths open often as they try to understand different sensations, inc

Im wondering how often I can give my baby Woodward's gripe water. My baby seems to have a lot of wind, and Im not sure if gripe water is the right thing to use for that. How many times a day would be safe? Also, Ive heard about Colicaid drops, but Im a bit confused about their difference from gripe water. When should I give Colicaid drops instead of gripe water?

Woodward's Gripe Water can be given to your baby up to 3-4 times a day, usually after meals or when your baby is feeling gassy. It helps relieve gas and bloating. Colicaid drops are specifically for relieving colic pain, given when your baby seems to have discomfort due to trapped gas or cramps. Gripe water is more for general wind relief. Always consult your pediatrician before giving any medication.

My son has been having a high fever for the past 4 days and we've been giving him Crocin, but it hasn't helped. We started using Ibugesic after consulting our family doctor, and there's still no improvement. What should we do?

Pediatric opinion is advised to the patient.
