3 years old child with delay closure anterior fontanel and pigeon chest

General Physician
Answered on 4th Dec '24
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.

Which foods are good to eat in chickenpox period
Male | 20
During chickenpox, it's good to eat soft, bland foods like rice, bananas, oatmeal, and soups to avoid irritating mouth sores. Stay hydrated with plenty of fluids like water and coconut water. For personalized advice, consult with a pediatrician or a general physician to ensure proper care during the recovery period.

My 2 year old is not saying a single word like mama or Dada till now and doesn't do actions like Hi, bye, or pointing at the objects. And her weight gain is also poor. What should I do doctor?
Female | 2
It's concerning that a 2-year-old child is not speaking or pointing. This may indicate a delay in speech and social skills development. Additionally, weight gain could be an issue. It is important to consult a pediatrician who specializes in child development.

1 month child ko brain hemorrhage hai
Male | 1 month
A brain hemorrhage, which means bleeding inside the brain, is a serious concern for a one-month-old baby. Symptoms may include seizures, excessive crying, feeding difficulties, or unusual body movements. It can be caused by birth trauma, blood clotting problems, or certain medical conditions. Treatment often involves careful monitoring in the hospital, and in some cases, surgery may be needed depending on how severe it is.

Male | 12
For a 12-year-old boy, the normal fasting blood sugar level is typically between 70 and 100 mg/dL. After eating, it should be less than 140 mg/dL. It's always best to consult a pediatric endocrinologist for personalized advice and accurate diagnosis.

My kid had constant throat clearing and dry cough he feels some mucus stuck in throat but couldn't cough out..... It's been the third time in this year now.... What medicine should I give..... No runny nose and fever now....
Male | 10
It seems like your child has postnasal drip. This happens when mucus from the nose drips down into the throat, causing throat clearing sounds and a dry cough. It can happen even without a runny nose or fever. You can help by giving your child warm drinks and using a humidifier to ease the congestion. Make sure they drink plenty of water to help thin the mucus as well.

Female | 10
Lower abdomen pain and blood in urine (haematuria) in a 10-year-old can be signs of a urinary tract infection (UTI) or other kidney problems. It's important to consult a pediatrician or a pediatric urologist to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.

My 11 year old girl is getting cramps on her middle finger atlist three times in a month and i have notice all her fingers is turning dark in color
Female | 11
The middle finger cramps and the darkening of all fingers sound uncomfortable. The reason is there may not be enough blood flow in the fingers. One common cause is Raynaud's disease, which is a disorder that affects blood flow. If the issue gets worse, talk to an orthopedist.

2 year old baby birth k Baad Roya nahi tha jis ki waja sy Nazar nahi Ata Bolta nahi hai
Male | 2 year
At this age, some kids may not yet speak or show visual engagement, which can be influenced by various factors, including developmental delays, hearing issues, or environmental factors. I recommend engaging with your child through play and reading, which can promote language skills. Observing if they respond to sounds and movements can also help. However, it’s important to consult a pediatrician for a thorough evaluation to rule out any underlying issues.

Mere bache ko teez bokhar or moshun he
Male | 2
If your child has a very high fever and such symptoms, it is the first thing to understand whether this is an infection, allergy, or for some other reason. If he is also coughing, having a sore throat, or feeling body ache with fever, these may be common viral or bacterial infections. You do not need to worry; you can give him turmeric milk at home, or just water. However, if the fever lasts more than three days, or more symptoms arise, then it's time to take time out to see 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.

What can I give a girl having high temperature
Female | 5
Fevers are the body's reaction to fighting off germs. Drink lots of water. Take acetaminophen for the fever. If the fever persists for more than 3 days, visit a doctor. That's important because high fevers can be worrisome. A mild fever under 102 Fahrenheit is okay and common for kids during minor illnesses. But anything over 103 Fahrenheit means getting medical attention. Keeping fluids up and medication helps kids feel better during fevers.

My 6 years old son is coughing very badly and unable to sleep. From past 4 to 5 days
Male | 6
This could be a common cold or pesky allergies causing the prolonged coughing fit. Hydration and rest are key - make sure he's drinking plenty of water and getting ample sleep. Consider a humidifier for his room; it might just soothe that bothersome cough. However, if the coughing persists or worsens, don't hesitate to consult your pediatrician.

Which supplement is good to grow height after 16 in like 9-10 months??
Female | 17
You're considering height. Bones halt growth past age 16, so supplements cannot increase stature. Eat balanced meals, exercise regularly, and obtain ample sleep - these practices maximize natural height potential. If worried, discuss it with a medical professional. Maintain healthy habits.

Male | 0
In children, any fever above 100 degrees Fahrenheit should be investigated. It might mean there’s an infection present. It’s important to go through the blood test report for any indications of an infection. The most likely causes are respiratory or urinary tract infections. After you get the results, make sure you book another appointment with a pediatrician so that they can recommend the right treatment.

He been ill last night and didn’t go school Today and been coughing aswell
Male | 13
To have worries when someone is sick is a very normal thing. Conditions like colds, which may come with symptoms such as a sore throat and fatigue, could be the reason for the infection, both the common ones and the mild ones. The best cure for it is rest, water, and a diet that provides relevant nutrients. Using a humidifier will savvily ease coughing. If the symptoms do not go or get worse with some other problem, it is reasonable to discuss this health issue with a pediatrician.
