My daughter's been coughing since October and at first, it was just like any normal cough. After three days of this, we took her to see her pediatrician who prescribed some meds and antibiotics. She's basically been on one medication or another since then. We've even seen a few doctors, like a general physician, another pediatrician, and a pulmonologist, but nothing's working. She coughs so much at night that sometimes she ends up vomiting. We're really worried and feel helpless about her health. She's on an inhaler and other meds for her cough and cold right now. Can someone offer any advice for us concerned parents?

View allI'm really concerned about my 9-month-old baby. They're having a bowel movement after every single feeding, like 6 times or even more in a day. It's usually within an hour after they eat. We did a stool test, and everything came back normal, but my baby just isn't gaining weight. What could be happening, and how can we help them?
Hi there, I understand your concern. Frequent stools after each feed can sometimes be a sign of digestive sensitivity or a mild intolerance, but since the stool test is normal, it's good to rule out infections. I recommend closely monitoring the baby's feeding patterns and discussing with your pediatrician about possible adjustments to the feeding routine or exploring other underlying causes for the weight concerns.

I'm wondering if giving formula milk to my 2-month-old baby could have any side effects. I actually have enough breast milk, but my little one's weight hasn't increased much. Our doctor mentioned using MMS milk powder. Should I be concerned about using the formula, or is it generally safe for my baby at this age?
MMS formula feed is considered safe and nutritious for infants. However, if breast milk is available in sufficient quantity, it would be more advisable to give priority to breast milk over formula feed, due to its immunity boosting and psychologically nurturing effects.

I'm really worried because my 7-month-old baby's head feels really hot and he's been running a temperature of 100C for the last two days. It hasn't changed at all, and I'm not sure what I should do or if I should be more concerned. What could be causing this persistent fever, and should I be bringing him in to see someone?
7-month-old baby's head feeling hot with a temperature of 100C for two days can be concerning. However, it's essential to note that a baby's head can feel hotter than the rest of their body due to their underdeveloped thermoregulation system . Since your baby's temperature is slightly elevated, it's crucial to monitor their overall health. Ensure your baby is well-hydrated by breastfeeding or formula feeding as usual. *Possible Causes:* - _High metabolic activity_: Babies have a higher metabolic rate, which can cause their heads to feel hotter . - _Infection or illness_: Although less likely, it's essential to rule out any underlying infections or illnesses. *Next Steps:* 1. *Monitor temperature*: Continue to check your baby's temperature regularly. 2. *Hydrate*: Ensure your baby is well-hydrated. 3. *Consult a pediatrician*: Schedule a
