Handling Child's Fear During C.T. Scan
Crying is normal when frightened. To make the girl calmer, speak softly, give comfort, and explain the scans like taking a picture inside her body. Ask her parent to hold her hand or be close while it happens. This might help her feel safer. Giving her a favorite toy or music could also distract her from the scan's happenings.

Dog Scratch on Child, Missed Vaccine by 4 Days
Dog scratches can sometimes get infected. Here's what you need to do: look closely at the scratch. If it gets red, swollen, or pus starts oozing out, that means it's infected. Clean the scratch with soap and water. Then cover it with a bandage. Your son missed his shots by only 4 days, so he should still have some protection. But keep a close watch on that scratch. If anything seems off, don't wait around. See a doctor right away to be safe.

Nose bleeding in a baby
Dried-out or irritated blood vessels in noses cause bleeds. Reasons include nose-picking, dry air, or hard sneezes. To stop it, make the baby sit up straight. Use your fingers to gently squeeze the soft part of their nose around ten minutes. Put a cool, damp cloth on their forehead too. If nosebleeds occur a lot, check with a pediatrician. There could be an underlying issue making them happen frequently.
