7-month-old baby – sudden swelling near

My baby is 7 months old and suddenly developed a small swelling on the head near the ear. It is not painful, the temperature of the area feels normal (not unusually warm), and the baby is otherwise behaving normally. Could this be an insect bite or some kind of infection? Does it require immediate treatment or can we just observe it for a couple of days?

Fever of 100.3-100.7 in 3 years old baby

Hello doc my daughter is 3 years and 3 months old. Since 4 days she has cough and cold persistent with 100.3-100.6 fever. But this fever was not consistent. So we were giving sinarest plus 5 ml twice a day . But since last night she has continuous fever of more than 100° which subsides on giving CALPOL 250 mg but comes again after 4-5 hours. We had gone to doctor so he gave augmentin dds bd 3.5 ml, respicure ls 3ml td, CALPOL 250mg 3.5ml td and nasoclear . We had given 1st dose of all medicines including augmentin dds to her but still fever is coming every 3-4 hours.  Can we give ibugesic plus instead of plain CALPOL and what other medicines to be given ...her weight is 12.1 kg and 3 years and 3 months old ...but she is somehow active although she is having fever. What else can we do now.

Baby speech

My baby boy is 21 months old (20 months corrected). Hia weight is 11kg As per last doctor visit. He says mumma, papa, dada, dudu, shoe, rice, sometimes other words in our own language. He waves and says tata, gives flying kiss, waves and says hi, aay as comes here. He says up and raises his hand.He is very social. He imitates some words as well. Does it sound speech delayed for his age? How to encourage him to imitate more? He goes to daycare where english is the main language and we are Bengalis. I am really worried .
