Hello Doctor,
My child (6 years old) is having chickenpox. Today is the 5th day.
Symptoms:
- Fever, especially at night
- Multiple blisters all over the body and face
- Some blisters appear to have pus
- Child is active at times in the morning, but becomes dull during fever
- Right eyelid is reddish and slightly swollen
We are currently giving Levocet syrup at night for itching. We are also giving coconut water and fruits as per the child’s preference.
Kindly advise:
1. Is this a normal stage or a sign of infection?
2. Do we need any antibiotic ointment or medicine?
3. What care should we follow at this stage?
I am also attaching photos for your reference.
Thank you.
My baby is 27 days old, and he was a preemie, born at 34 weeks and 2 days.
The doctor said to use formula to help him gain weight until he hit 3kg, which he just did! So now I'm exclusively breastfeeding him. He gets hungry every 1.5 hours and feeds for about 20 to 30 minutes. He pees and poops well too.
For the last two nights, he's been crying as soon as I put him down after feeding, even though he was totally asleep while feeding.
I burp him and hold him upright for at least 10 minutes before putting him down, but it doesn't seem to help.
I'm wondering if it has something to do with my feeding – like, am I overfeeding him? And, how can I get him to calm down?

My baby is 3 years old. She frequently has bruises on her shin area, and sometimes I notice them on her arms, but they disappear within a week. However, they reappear frequently. She also has dark under-eye circles. Her weight is 11kg. She is active but a picky eater.
