My 10 months old baby suddenly refusing breastfeed. Why?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Since when is your baby refusing breastfeeding (specify the duration)? Are there any other symptoms associated with refusal to feed? If yes, please specify. How is the activity of your baby? What are the complementary feeds you are giving to your baby apart from your breastfeeding? Is he or she accepting top milk or feeds well? If your baby has no associated symptoms and is active and accepting complimentary feeds well then have patience. You can give your expressed breast milk through cup or spoon. This will prevent breast fullness and help further in breast milk production.

My 2-year-old has rashes in body after giving Paracetamol for fever. Why?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Has the fever subsided now? Had the rash appeared when the child had a fever? Fever with rash can be a viral exanthem that resolves spontaneously and only symptomatic treatment for fever and itching is required. If the rash appeared two days after the fever had subsided then it might not always be a part of viral infection. It can instead be a result of an allergic reaction either to the drug Paracetamol, insect bite, and food allergy. In medical terms, it is called urticaria (itchy rash).
