Is my 3-year-old child's barking normal?
Children don't usually bark like dogs. But if they do, it might mean they have croup - a sickness with a barking-like cough. They could also have a runny nose or hoarse voice. When the airways swell, this happens. Giving warm drinks and using a cool mist humidifier helps. But talk to your kid's doctor if it keeps going.

My 2-month-old baby's vaccinated foot turned red from ice pack – is prolonged icing harmful?
It's common to see swelling in the place where a baby gets a vaccine. Since ice packs bring down swelling and diminish the pain, they are advantageous.

If your baby is in a lot of pain, you can give them infant pain relief.
