A paternity test may be required to confirm the identity of the child's father. However, sometimes fathers are unable or unwilling to participate in providing the necessary DNA samples. The alleged father's non-participation may complicate matters, but does not preclude a paternity test. If you can't get help from the suspected father, there are other ways to get a DNA test to work out paternity. For example, intimate personal belongings may provide sufficient information for a final test. A toothbrush, used cotton swab, or comb with bristles can often be good examples if handled properly. But a much better option would require you to have a good relationship with your alleged father's parents. The example that can be provided by the child's potential parents, especially the grandparents, will be very helpful in trying to establish definitive paternity. While direct access to biological information about the alleged father or mother is ideal, there are other ways to...

Many coughs get worse at night because the baby's nose and sinuses collect water in the throat and cause irritation while the baby lies in bed. This is only a problem if your child is unable to sleep. Coughing at night can be distressing for children and their parents or caregivers. In general, coughing at night is nothing to worry about, however, and is likely a sign of a virus that will clear up on its own.  Most coughs in young children get better within a few weeks. However, researchers estimate that 5-10% of children have a chronic cough. Postnasal drip cough. Postnasal drip (PND) in children occurs when there is excessive secretion of mucus from the posterior pharynx. This mucus usually exits through the nose or back of the throat and often goes unnoticed. When excess mucus runs down a person's throat, it's called postnasal drip. It is a common trigger for nighttime coughs and sore throats. However, a runny nose is usually not accompanied by a prominent or wheezing co...
