Question 1

My 2-year-old has had a fever for the past 4 days. We've already seen a doctor and they prescribed Noble Plus and Zifi 50. But for the past 2 days, I've noticed that at night his head gets really hot while the rest of his body feels cold. What could this mean?

Accepted Answer

Your child may be experiencing fever spikes, where the temperature rises significantly in certain parts of the body. This can sometimes happen during the course of an infection. The medications prescribed by the doctor are noble plus (Paracetamol) for fever and zifi 50 (Cefixime) as an antibiotic. Make sure to give the medications as per the prescribed dosage and frequency. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.

Question 2

My 3.5-month-old daughter recently got the Pentavac vaccine, and now theres swelling and a lump at the injection site. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it common?

Accepted Answer

After pentavac vaccination, it is common for infants to experience swelling and lump formation at the injection site. This is a normal reaction to the vaccine. You can give her a dose of acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol) as per the recommended dosage for her age to help with any discomfort. If the swelling or lump persists or worsens, please consult with your pediatrician.

Question 3

My 3-month-old baby has yellowish liquid coming from one ear. What could be causing this? Is this something common in babies, or should I be worried it might be serious?

Accepted Answer

The yellowish liquid discharge from a 3-month-old baby's ear could be due to a middle ear infection (otitis media), earwax buildup, or a blocked Eustachian tube; this is a relatively common issue in infants, but it's essential to consult a pediatrician for a thorough evaluation and guidance on treatment, which may include antibiotics or ear drops, to prevent potential complications like hearing loss or ear drum damage.

My daughter got her 6-week vaccination on March 8, and since then, there's been a small lump on her thigh. The doctor suggested hot water treatment, but the lump is still there. Should I be worried or is this normal? What else can I do to help her?

Accepted Answer

Is it normal to get a lump after an injection? Getting a lump under your skin is a normal and expected injection site reaction. The lump may be painful or tender. As with other symptoms related to injection site reactions, get medical attention if your symptoms last longer than 1 to 2 days or get worse.
