This is an automatically translated article.

Question
Hello doctor, my baby boy is 5 years old and recently he has been having stomach ache when running. So today I sent him to have an ultrasound and blood test and was informed by the doctor that he was positive for stomach HP. Doctor, is a 5-year-old child at risk for gastric HP? Because I don't think my grandchild has stomach HP. Hope to hear back soon, thank you.

Bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy is okay?

My period is about 15 days late. I tested with a test stick and it showed two faint lines. But then I had a lot of brown bleeding. I went for a transvaginal ultrasound, the doctor did not see the gestational sac and asked me to do a beta HCG blood test. My result was 121. The doctor scheduled me to do another beta HCG test in 2 days. But today I have a lot of red blood like menstrual blood. So doctor, can you tell me if I am pregnant?

Children who drink cough syrup will help with a runny nose, if they don't drink it, they will get sick again, do they need to go to the doctor?

Hello doctor. My nearly 11-month-old son had a runny nose and cough in the early morning, at first he gave me cold and flu syrup for 4-5 days but it still didn't help. I switched to cough syrup for 5 days and a runny nose. If the baby drinks, the runny nose will help, but if not, the nose will run again. Please ask the doctor, in case the child takes cough syrup, the runny nose will help, if not, will it be again, do I need to go to the doctor? Should I take antibiotics? The baby is still eating and sleeping normally. Thank you doctor, hope to hear from you soon.
