Questions & Answers on "Pediatrics And Pediatric Surgery" (51)
I have a 7 month old with a very chesty cough for the last 5/6 days and now it’s making her throw up and gag when she has a coughing fit. She also is really struggling to cough up the phlegm and I’m scared she’s going to choke on it when she tries to as she struggles so much to clear it. How do I help her?
Female | 7 months
It appears that the little one has a cough; this sounds chesty. When I say chesty, I mean that he/she has mucus in his/her chest. If not handled well, the kid may struggle to breathe or vomit. The first measure is to give the child plenty of water to drink. Think of installing a humidifier right in his/her bedroom so that the air can be a bit moist. In case things go south and the cough becomes severe, feel free to seek the help of a pediatrician.

My 14 month old son developed a red nipple last Saturday. Since then the redness has gone down. However still a noticable difference from the other nipple. It is also going inverted and coming back out. He was not born with inverted nipples.
Male | 14 month
It is great that differences have been spotted in your son's nipple. This could be due to moments of redness and inversions whenever irritations or infections set in. It is quite necessary to stick around. If the condition persists or grows more severe, the best alternative would be to seek further evaluation and advice from a pediatrician.

My 22 Months old baby boy have minor blood spot in potty. Is this harmfull?
Male | 22 Months
This can happen for a few things. He might have pooped hard and that caused some very small cuts. Or he could have a minor sickness. Make sure he drinks lots of water. Give him food with lots of fiber like apples and carrots. If the blood spots do not go away soon, or if he acts sick, take him to see a pediatrician.

My son is 1 he has been having diarrhoea but like small pieces off poo and wet but a lot redness around the bum it really hurts him
Male | 1
He may have loose, watery poo called diarrhea. His red bottom likely stems from irritation caused by frequent bathroom visits. Viruses or bad food can trigger this condition. Keep him hydrated with plenty of fluids like water or electrolyte drinks formulated for infants experiencing diarrhea. Apply diaper rash cream to soothe the redness. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a pediatrician right away for proper care advice.

The loose poop you talked about is called diarrhea. Tummy bugs or foods he can't digest well could be the cause. The red area around his bottom is likely from frequent pooping which can irritate the skin. Make sure he drinks lots of water and other fluids to stay hydrated. You can also put a barrier cream on the red area to protect his skin. If the diarrhea keeps happening, it's best to take him to a pediatrician for a check-up.
