My son swallowed Bipilac tablet - What to do?
If your little boy has swallowed a Bipilac tablet by mistake, don't panic. The most frequent symptoms of ingestion are upset stomach and perhaps some vomiting or diarrhea. The reason for this is that the stomach doesn’t like the pill. To make him feel better, make sure he drinks plenty of water and keep an eye on him constantly. It’s important to observe any strange behavior in your child and if there is any, call your local poison control centre at once.

How can I reduce my baby's acute diarrhea?
Diarrhea can be defined as the frequent passing of loose or watery stools. It may be triggering by infections, which are caused by bacteria or viruses, or as the side effects of antibiotics. To help with diarrhea, ensure your baby's fluids are kept up by giving him water or oral rehydration solutions. If not, avoid sugary drinks. Besides them, try to give him other easy-to-digest foods like bananas, applesauce, rice, and toast. If the intestinal disorder lasts, please consult a pediatrician for further treatment.

Why Does My 11 Year Old Have Finger Cramps?
The middle finger cramps and the darkening of all fingers sound uncomfortable. The reason is there may not be enough blood flow in the fingers. One common cause is Raynaud's disease, which is a disorder that affects blood flow. If the issue gets worse, talk to an orthopedist.

Why Does My 7-Month-Old Baby Have Stuffy Nose?
Your baby probably has a common cold or a viral infection. The stuffy nose and sound while breathing could be due to congestion. Make sure to hydrate your baby sufficiently and then use a bulb syringe to suck out the mucus. Alternatively, you may run a humidifier to help loosen congestion. Be vigilant regarding your baby's temperature, and if you observe any symptoms of a fever or difficulty breathing, consult a pediatrician.

Why does my daughter get recurring fever monthly?
Based on your description, your daughter may have recurrent fever syndrome. This condition involves frequent episodes of high body temperature occurring in a regular pattern. It can result from various causes, such as infections, inflammation, or genetic factors. Since she also has a sore throat, a viral infection is likely the cause.

Make an appointment with a pediatrician as soon as possible and get her checked regularly.

Why isn't my 31-month-old son talking?
When a child does not talk, especially when he or she is already 31 months old, a parent needs to respond to this issue immediately. It may be an early sign of a speech delay. Sometimes, hearing trouble or a delay in development could be the cause. The most effective way is through speech therapist intervention which may mean providing strategies to improve your child's language skills.

How can I provide balanced diet for toddler with food allergies?
A diet that is complete and free from allergens is essential. Milk, eggs, soy, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish are the most commonly found allergens. It is important to search for other alternatives that are safe and nutritious, such as fruit, vegetables, rice, quinoa, beans, and meats. A dietitian can support you in developing a customized meal plan to make sure your child gets all the necessary nutrients. It is also necessary to monitor the symptoms of rashes, stomachache, vomiting, and shortness of breath that might appear after consuming food. If you recognize any of these symptoms, the advice is to stop feeding them that food and to contact an allergist for further testing and evaluation.
