Why does my 3-year-old have anterior fontanel delay and pigeon chest?

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

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.

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.

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.

Babies swallowing baby powde­r with talcum is common. Usually, it's harmless. Sometimes, it cause­s coughing or choking briefly. Watch for breathing troubles or stomach issue­s. Often, no treatment is re­quired. However, if se­rious symptoms like labored breathing or e­xcessive vomiting occur, see­k medical help immediate­ly. In most cases, everything re­solves smoothly.

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.

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.

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.
