My child has been dealing with a cough for almost a year now, and we've tried multiple government hospitals, but nothing seems to be working. I can't afford private doctors or medication. Is there anything you suggest we can do?

I'm a first-time mom, and my baby is now 14 days old. For the past week, she's been crying for almost three hours every night and sometimes during the day too. We tried giving her colic medicine for four days, but she keeps crying. With this Covid situation, it's really hard to visit a hospital. Is this something normal?

My daughter has an infection around her nasal passage and she's had a fever for 3 days now. The doctor prescribed Azitus and she's taken two doses so far, one yesterday afternoon and another today. The fever still hasnt gone down, so I'm just wondering how long it usually takes for this to work?

I'm really curious and a bit worried about my 30-day-old baby's skin. When he was born, his complexion was quite fair, but over time, it seems to have gotten darker. I'm using Tedibar soap for him. Could the change in skin tone be related to the summer heat, or is there something else I should consider?

The darkening of your baby's skin tone is likely due to natural melanin production and adaptation to the environment, rather than the soap or summer heat; continue using gentle, fragrance-free soap like Tedibar, and consider consulting your pediatrician to rule out any underlying conditions, but in most cases, this change is harmless and may stabilize over time
