Premature babies are often slow in gaining weight. Make sure that he is eating well and that he is getting enough nutrients.

My daughter was bit by a dog tick what should I do I cleaned the area

Female | 5

Dog ticks are a nuisance. Watch for the signs you see: blood, itchiness, and a bump on the skin. Ticks are what can indeed give you diseases; however, not everyone who gets bitten will necessarily be sick. The best outcome you had was to wipe the area with a cloth. If you see any weird signs or symptoms, it is better to call your local clinic.

Male | 2.5 months

Babies can ge­t colic and gas. Colic is when babies cry intense­ly. Gas makes babies uncomfortable. It happe­ns when they swallow air while fe­eding. Or, they have a se­nsitive tummy. Try massaging their stomach gently. Burp the­m frequently during fee­dings too. Keep their surroundings quie­t and calm. Don't overfeed the­m quickly. Keep them upright afte­r feedings.

Hi,I am a 35yr old mom of 2, my 2yr old daughter has been constipated for 3 weeks now, she only poops once in 7days and it all was forced poop, 1st and 2nd time I used enema and 2days ago I took her to the clinic and they gave a glycerine suppositories....I inserted 1 in her anus but I might have made a mistake by lubricating it with petroleum jelly and no poop came out it didn't work....out of panic 20 hours later I used the water and soap douche and she did poop ,so it's 3days now and she hasn't poo and she started vomited a few hours ago .

Female | 2

In a state when a child does not poop for an extended period, it may bring a feeling of uneasiness and cause vomiting in the child's body. The blockage of the colon might have been caused by the fact that your kid did not have a proper diet, had fiber deficiency, or didn't drink enough water. Give her to eat more fruits, and vegetables, and drink water.

Female | 7

Taking different me­dicines together re­quires caution to prevent issue­s. Genalben and Finallerg syrup se­rve distinct purposes. While Ge­nalben addresses ce­rtain health conditions, Finallerg syrup treats alle­rgies. Combining them may lead to side­ effects such as dizziness, confusion, or upse­t stomach. To ensure safety, it's crucial to consult your doctor or pharmacist be­fore starting any new medication or modifying e­xisting ones.
