I'm really worried about my 5-year-old. He's got these prominent bronchovascular markings, and his ESR is at 13. Is this serious? He's been coughing non-stop and always seems to have a fever. His recent blood test shows an absolute lymphocyte count of 5500 and a monocyte count of 9. We've been giving him normal flu medicines and using a nebulizer, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Could it be some kind of allergy?

I'm really worried because my 2-year-old just swallowed an apricot seed. I've heard from someone that giving him bananas and sabudana kheer might help. Is that true, and is there anything else I should be doing right now? What's the best way to handle this?

If your baby has swallowed an apricot seed, it's important to stay calm. Monitor for any signs of discomfort, choking, or difficulty breathing. Feeding bananas or sabudana kheer may help soften the stool, but if there are any concerns or signs of distress, please seek immediate medical attention.

I'm really worried about my daughter Aradhya. She's been getting a fever two or three times every month for the last couple of months. We've seen different pediatricians each time, but they always end up prescribing antibiotics and antipyretics. The meds usually help for a bit, but then a month or two later, the fever's back. Recently, one suggested Septilin syrup, saying her immune system might be weak. Even after ten days on it, she got a fever again. Im feeling stuck and unsure of what to do next. Any advice?

get her complete blood count and chest xray and see if it is normal, then continue the syrup
