A three-year-old friend of yours happens to sport an open part in her skull and sticks out a bit in front. The open space is known as the anterior fontanelle and should have closed by now. A pigeon chest could cause difficulties in breathing. These problems may be because of muscle weakness or bone problems. It is important to seek medical advice for proper assessment and advice on the most effective treatment plan.

Your baby may throw up after taking calcium syrup. Vomiting can come from an upset stomach or not tolerating the syrup well. Stop giving the syrup if vomiting occurs. Provide smaller feedings instead. Keep offering small sips of water to prevent dehydration. However, persistent vomiting or signs of illness require seeking medical help promptly. Babies sometimes struggle with new supplements, so close monitoring is wise.

Colds or throat infections commonly cause sore throat and coughing. Our body reacts when we're sick. It makes our throats hurt and causes coughing. Give her lots of water, rest, and warm soup. These aid recovery. If she doesn't improve soon, visit a pediatrician.

Weight gain in a 3-month-old baby should be managed carefully. It's important to consult a pediatrician to get the right advice and avoid self-medication. A pediatrician can provide the best guidance and recommend suitable treatments or supplements.

My concern is coming from the fact that you get tired quite early, say at 8 p.m., have no appetite at all, and seem to have stopped adding weight and becoming taller. These signs could be caused by things like lack of proper nutrients or a sickness. Therefore, you should share this information with a responsible grown-up – maybe a family member or your teacher – so that they assist you in getting medical attention. A doctor will examine you to find out what is wrong and give you the necessary treatment.
