Fever in Children: What Parents Should Watch For

Fever in Children: What Parents Should Watch For

A fever in children is usually a sign of an infection, and 38°C (100.4°F) or higher is generally considered a fever. Parents should watch for difficulty breathing, unusual sleepiness, dehydration, stiff neck, seizures, a non-blanching rash, persistent vomiting or a child who is difficult to wake. Any fever in a baby younger than 3 months needs prompt medical assessment.

Viral vs H1N1 vs COVID: Symptoms, Differences & Warning Signs

Viral vs H1N1 vs COVID: Symptoms, Differences & Warning Signs

H1N1 is a type of influenza A, while COVID-19 is caused by SARS-CoV-2. Both can cause fever, cough, sore throat, fatigue and body aches, so symptoms alone usually cannot distinguish them. Testing may be needed, especially for people at higher risk. Seek urgent medical help for difficulty breathing, persistent chest pain, confusion, severe drowsiness, seizures, or rapidly worsening symptoms.

High-Protein Breakfasts Are Trending: Are They Actually Healthier?

High-Protein Breakfasts Are Trending: Are They Actually Healthier?

High-protein breakfasts may improve fullness and support muscle health, but more protein does not automatically mean a healthier meal. A balanced breakfast should combine protein with fibre, vegetables or fruit and healthy fats. Indian options such as eggs, moong dal chilla, curd, paneer, tofu, sprouts and protein-rich poha can work well.
