My little one is 2 years and 2 months old, and I'm thinking about starting Junior Horlicks Stage 1. I'm unsure what the right age is since I noticed that both the Stage 1 and Stage 2 packs mention not giving it to children under 2 years old, but there's no more detailed age info. Could you help me with when might be a good time to start?

I'm really worried about this high fever that's been going onit's been reaching 103 to 104 degrees since Friday night, and there's been vomiting three times. Whenever I give medicine, the temperature drops to 101.3 but then spikes back up when it's time for the next dose. What should I do? Is there something else I can try to bring the fever down?

My kid is 4 years old and he's still not talking as much as I'd expect. I've been to the pediatrician, and he recommended two syrups called Forts B and Neotoserum. I've been giving them to my child for the past six months, and while I've noticed some improvement, he still isn't understanding everything and can't always reply properly. What else should I be doing?

Nipple Discharge: Normal or Abnormal? _Normal Reasons:_ 1. *Hormonal fluctuations*: Changes in estrogen and progesterone levels can cause nipple discharge. 2. *Stimulation or squeezing*: As you've experienced, squeezing or stimulating the nipples can cause a clear discharge. 3. *Pregnancy or breastfeeding*: Hormonal changes during pregnancy or breastfeeding can lead to nipple discharge. _Abnormal Reasons:_ 1. *Galactorrhea*: A hormonal imbalance can cause spontaneous nipple discharge, often accompanied by other symptoms like irregular periods or infertility. 2. *Prolactinoma*: A benign tumor in the pituitary gland can cause an overproduction of prolactin, leading to nipple discharge. 3. *Breast cancer or other tumors*: In rare cases, nipple discharge can be a symptom of breast cancer or other tumors.

I'm trying to decide between Nan Pro and Lactogen for my 8-month-old baby. Can you help me understand the differences and which one might be better? I'm really curious about the benefits of each formula and if there's one that's more suited for my baby at this stage.

Nan Pro and Lactogen are both infant formulas, but they have some differences in their composition. Nan Pro is a specially formulated infant formula that contains probiotics and is designed to support healthy gut flora in infants. It also contains DHA, ARA, and essential vitamins and minerals for overall growth and development. For an 8-month-old baby, you can consider using Nan Pro 2, which is suitable for infants from 6 months onwards. On the other hand, Lactogen is also an infant formula that provides essential nutrients for infants. It does not contain probiotics like Nan Pro, but it is still a good option for infant nutrition. For an 8-month-old baby, you can use Lactogen 2, which is suitable for infants from 6 months onwards. Both Nan Pro and Lactogen are good options for infant nutrition, but the choice between the two may depend on your baby's specific needs and any recommendations from your pediatrician.
