Health Query

My baby son is 8 months old. Since yesterday he started developing fever. Initially temperature was below 100 and he vomited once. Yesterday night it rose to 100.1 f. Today during daytime it rose to 102 f. He has been breastfeeding regularly and but after fever developed, his appetite has decreased. He eats a spoonful of cerelac and is breastfeeding normally. Besides fever he is having cough but not frequently only once or twice. It's raining heavily in our guwahati city and the weather is very humid. We also put on ceiling fan. He has vomited thrice. His mother made him wash his chest and back with lukewarm water in the evening at 4 pm yesterday, after taking his dinner meal he cried a little. He is crying with fussiness, whenever he is awake. We consulted a local pediatrician and gave him 1 ml paracetamol paediatric oral suspension ip once. Doctor advised us to give him 1 ml every 6 hours. Till now his temperature hasn't come down after touching 102 f. Please help us out.

Weaning should be done at 4 months and you are giving wrong thing which is biscuits. Maida is not advisable in first 9 months. If at you wanna start early weaning.

Constipation is a common problem with babies when they start solids. Please make sure your baby has measured 10 teaspoonfuls of water every 1-2 hours, you could also give him coconut water, or freshly made fruit juice without added sugar between meals. Also, you can use a paraffin suppository as soon as he gets up in the morning for a few days. The suppository comes out as soon as put and it is very safe. Once your baby starts passing stools at the same time each day, youâll see that his const...more

Hi lybrate-user,
thank you for your query.
Baby's stools colour may vary. Green color stools are normal if there is no mucus, foul smelling, blood or increased stools with watery consistency.
There is no restrictions on food for lactating mothers unless there is any specific food allergy in mother.
In addition to mother milk, you should start mashed, semisolid complimentary feeds after 6 months of age.
Hope I have answered your question.
