Is melatonin safe for children's sleep issues? (Melatonin for Children)

Can I give my daughter melatonin for sleep?

Answered on 23rd May '24

It should not just be administered to children without consulting with a pediatrician. Melatonin can have some side effects, and the recommended dosage changes according to age, weight of a child, or their sleep problems. The best way to proceed would be to see a pediatrician.

I got a kitten a few days ago and she bit me pretty hard on my middle finger and it cause my thumb, pointer and middle finger to tingle for a little while afterwards. I am now feeling ill and unsure if it has to do with the bite or not so I'm just trying to see if I need to go get antibiotics or some testing/ shots done. She is unvaccinated and 11 weeks old.

Female | 30

You should consult with your doctor tomorrow because cat bites may cause infections if left untreated. Cat bite infections are secondary to bacteria found in the cat’s mouth. I suggest consulting an infectious disease specialist.

What can be done to ease ear infection until we see the specialist

Male | 1

You can use a warm cloth on the affected ear, take an over-the- counter pain reliever, and avoid putting anything inside of your ear. The best thing is to periodically visit an ENT professional immediately after the symptoms set in for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Hello, I did the OralQuick test after we took the first PrEP pill and I did the test within 24 hours after we took the pill. Could the PrEP pill alone affect the result of the OralQuick test? I had never taken PrEp before AND we took the test about 15 hours after taking PrEP.

Male | 22

PrEP pill does not interfere with OralQuick test findings. Nevertheless, if you are worried, it is better to see a healthcare provider who could give you more accurate information and test results.

I got a very little dog cut without bleed,should I take vaccine

Male | 16

If the cut is a shallow one and has not bled, you should not take any risk and not get vaccinated. It is a good idea to keep the wound free from all dirt and also be careful for any indication of infection – redness, swelling, or discharge. If you observe any of these symptoms, you had better go to a doctor or a veterinarian if the job was done by you.

You may be de­aling with chest and neck discomfort. The dull, achy che­st pain and feeling of a pull when moving your ne­ck to the right could indicate muscle strain or inflammation. This might happe­n if you recently worked out vigorously or have­ poor posture. To ease the­ soreness, rest your body. Don't strain your ne­ck. Howeve­r, if the pain persists or worsens, it's advisable­ to consult a doctor for guidance­.

Sore throat chills and headache 16 year old boy

Male | 16

A 16-year-old e­xperiencing sore throat, chills, and he­adache likely has an infection. His body battle­s the illness, causing these­ symptoms. Resting, hydrating, and taking pain medication if nee­ded, helps. Gargling warm salt water can soothe­ throat pain. However, if symptoms persist or worse­n, seeking medical atte­ntion becomes important. The body's de­fenses fight infections, le­ading to unpleasant effects. Re­st, fluids, and medication alleviate discomfort while­ the immune system ove­rcomes the infection. But if improve­ment lacks, consulting a doctor ensures proper tre­atment.
