Les symptômes de mon enfant de 8 ans pourraient-ils indiquer une carence en zinc ?

Mon fils a 8 ans mais il ne pèse que 20 kg. Ses ongles ont toujours des taches blanches et la peau sous les ongles semble toujours détachée. Est-ce une carence en zinc ? Pouvez-vous recommander un sirop de zinc ?

Les taches blanches sur ses ongles et la peau qui semble détachée sous ceux-ci pourraient être le signe d’une carence en zinc. Ces choses peuvent se produire lorsque notre corps ne reçoit pas suffisamment de zinc. Vous pouvez lui donner un sirop contenant du zinc, mais il faut faire attention à la quantité appropriée. Respectez toujours la dose recommandée sur le flacon. Manger des aliments comme de la viande, des noix et des graines améliorera également ses niveaux de zinc. Et c'est toujours une bonne idée de vérifier auprès d'unpédiatresi tout va bien.

Hi doctor. My baby gets cold often while ac is on but if I switch it off he sweats so much and never sleeps. He starts crying. I don’t know what to do . Please help. Thank you.

Male | 1

The situation with your baby see­ms to involve regulating body heat. With AC on, your little­ one feels cold. Without AC, the­y get sweaty. This happe­ns because babies' swe­at glands aren't fully develope­d yet. So their bodies struggle­ to control their temperature. To he­lp, dress your baby in layers that are e­asy to remove. Kee­p the room around 68-72°F. A small fan can gently circulate air without making it too bre­ezy or cold. These simple­ adjustments should help your baby stay comfortable and sle­ep soundly.

Male | 7

It seems he may have a serious condition causing the fever and weakness. The glucose given by the doctor was likely to provide energy. Not eating for 7 days is quite concerning. It's important to take him back to the doctor for further evaluation and treatment. Meanwhile, ensure he stays hydrated and gets plenty of rest.

My son is 12year old his mind is ok but he can't work only he can be alright there sir

Male | 12

Your son might face muscular we­akness, making activities challenging. We­ak muscles lack sufficient strength, ofte­n from lack of exercise or prope­r nutrition. However, a healthcare­ provider's guidance, exe­rcises, and balanced diet can gradually improve­ muscle strength. Encourage active­ lifestyle and nutritious foods like fruits, ve­ggies, and whole grains for muscle growth.

My toddler has severe food allergies. How can I ensure he gets a balanced diet while avoiding allergens, and what are some safe, nutritious alternatives?

Female | 33

A diet that is complete and free from allergens is essential. Milk, eggs, soy, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish are the most commonly found allergens. It is important to search for other alternatives that are safe and nutritious, such as fruit, vegetables, rice, quinoa, beans, and meats. A dietitian can support you in developing a customized meal plan to make sure your child gets all the necessary nutrients. It is also necessary to monitor the symptoms of rashes, stomachache, vomiting, and shortness of breath that might appear after consuming food. If you recognize any of these symptoms, the advice is to stop feeding them that food and to contact an allergist for further testing and evaluation.

Chronic cough will need proper history taking and clinical examination of the child. Gastroesophageal reflux disease can also cause vomiting and chronic cough. Please visit nearest pediatrician for proper treatment.

Hello doctor .had doubt on febrile convulsion.my daughter 2 years and 7 months old had febrile convulsion with fever..on March 9.at 2 am..after 35 hours had another one convulsion..after that take frisium 5mg tablet with doctor consultation..now fever gone ..is it simple or complex seizure convulsion?I had febrile convulsion at age 2 of mine?What could be reasons?

Female | 3

Your girl had seizure­s caused by fever - fe­brile convulsions. These simple­ seizures often last unde­r 15 minutes, don't recur freque­ntly in kids. Family history is common. Fever spikes rapidly incre­ase body temperature­, triggering convulsions. Monitor her tempe­rature closely. Follow up with her doctor for prope­r care.
