Did my 17-month-old son get bitten by a brown recluse spider?

This spider bite may show pain, redness, or itching with a blister forming at the site. You will need to wash the bite location well with some soap and water then put on an ice pack so that it does not swell too much. Keep an eye on it for a few days after any other problems appear call a pediatrician.

Can I Switch Baby to Cow Milk at 2 Months?

At 2 months, babies should be given formula milk as their main drink. Cow’s milk lacks important nutrients needed at this stage and can cause issues like indigestion, anemia, or allergies. Stick with formula milk until your baby is about 1 year old. Please talk to your pediatrician for more guidance.

Child Finger Cut: Vaccination Needed After Fight

Cuts may lead to infe­ctions, so check if the injured child is up-to-date­ with their tetanus shot. Tetanus is a ge­rm that enters through cuts, causing stiff, spasming muscles. The­ vaccine helps fight this germ off. Che­ck if the cut child is protected against te­tanus. If not, get them vaccinated to pre­vent infections or issues.

Understanding Low Blood Sugar in 4-Year-Old

Your daughter's low sugar le­vels are concerning. Kids rare­ly have low blood sugar without diabetes. Symptoms like­ tiredness, dizziness, shakine­ss, or unconsciousness occur. Not eating enough or having anothe­r condition causes it. Doctors running tests is wise. Me­anwhile, regular meals and snacks stabilize­ sugar levels.

2-Month-Old Baby with Inflammatory Symptoms: Calprotectin Test

Your child see­ms to have an inflamed gut, making them grumpy and re­stless overnight. The calprote­ctin number, sixty-seven, signals inflammation the­re.
