Can I give calpol and ponstan suppository to a toddler at the same time? In brief: Technically

"yes" since they are different medications (One is acetominophen the other a NSAID) HOWEVER my strong opinion is that if the pain/fever is severe enough to require both you should have direct input by your child's PEDIATRICIAN! My opinion only.

I have acrylic nails and was masturbating I think a small piece of the fake nail chipped off into my vagina but when searching there was nothing help? In brief: I wouldn't freak out

This is likely to be shed in time and as a simple foreign body it should do no harm. You might try a simple douche to float it out but you may never be able to identify it when it goes.

If you develop a discharge after a few days I would try the douche again.

My newborn baby, born on 37,5 weeks, makes a strange gasping noise every now and then. I want know why she does this. In brief: Hard to be sure
