The fever and hot head might indicate an infection, while the vomiting and stomach ache could be from the medication. Let's switch to a different antibiotic and add probiotics to ease the stomach issues. Keep offering light, bland foods like crackers, bananas, and rice. If symptoms don't improve or get worse, further tests may be needed.

Hello doc, can you give an advice, my 5yrs old daughter is having dry cough and high fevervin 2days
Female | 5
A persistent cough without phlegm and elevated body temperature could indicate a viral infection, like influenza or a common cold virus. Ensure that she consumes ample fluids and gets sufficient rest. If necessary, administer children's fever-reducing medication, carefully following age-appropriate dosage instructions. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical evaluation.

How can I make my son reduce screen time
Male | 17
To cut your son’s screen time, you start with setting clear rules on its use. Specify the hours you allow your child to watch TV or play computer games, and give preference to such choices as spending time in the open air or reading. Warning signs of screen dependence may be giving attention difficulties in class, sleep disturbances at night, and irascibility. Try to clarify these worries by being frank and direct. Ask him to recommend some creative activities that he might enjoy doing offline. Should these be some issues that are still persisting in spite of your kinds of efforts, you can deal with this situation with the help of a doctor who can give you advice personalized for your kid. This expert could work out a plan for his general wellness while dealing with his screen habits in a moderate manner.

Male | 4
Variations exist when kids develop speech skills. If speaking challenges arise with your son, potential reasons could be hearing issues, developmental delays, or simply taking more time. I suggest seeking a professional evaluation of his hearing and consulting a speech therapist. They'll provide insight into nurturing his speech progress.

My son 3.7 yars old from last 1 days i notice hi was take long breath after 1 and 2 minutes. And he have some autism problem from last 2yrs but now no any autism problem seen after giving proper guide and attension So i have need to know is this normal in child
Male | 3.7 years
You are doing well by noticing that your son is changing. The need for breathing exercises comes from very different things. Children may experience just like in the case when they are thrilled, angry, or sick. Long breaths don't usually come from autism, so it's a positive thing his symptoms have improved. Try it, but if you're still worried, go to a pediatrician first so they can rule out anything serious.

my son has a tongue tie, pls suggest me what to do, he is 1 month 4 days old
Male | 1month
When a muscle under the tongue is too tight, it's called a tongue tie. Babies may struggle to nurse, sticking their tongue out, or even speaking later. A fast procedure named a frenotomy releases that tight tissue. Quick and painless, it fixes the issue. Reach out to a pediatrician. They'll guide you on if it's needed.

Female | 3
It's common for children to have movable lumps due to swollen lymph nodes, which often occur with infections. However, since the lump has persisted for two months, it's important to consult a pediatrician. They can properly assess and provide the best advice for your child's condition.

Female | 1
It's good that your daughter is responsive and speaks some words. However, not sitting properly or stiffening her legs could indicate developmental issues. I recommend visiting a pediatric neurologist for a thorough evaluation and guidance on appropriate interventions.

We are giving medicine from last four 4 years from qualified doctors of pakistan dr noreen akhtar but the child swelled when she leaves the medicine for a month.
Female | 10
Swelling after stopping medicine could show edema, a condition where fluid builds up. This happens because the body adjusts to medicine, then responds when it's removed suddenly. Many reasons like heart or kidney problems can cause edema. Doctors slowly reduce doses to avoid reactions like swelling. It's crucial to talk with your doctor about this concern.

My son is 7years old. He has a very bad cold , runny nose and little cough. What medicine can heal him quickly without making him drowsy.
Male | 7
Your son has the usual cold. The runny nose and cough are caused by a virus. You could provide him with a child's medication that has acetaminophen, which is good for coughing and fever, as for his age. Ensure that he doesn't miss out on fluids and rest. It is advisable not to use over-the-counter cold medicines for children.

So I have a 4 month old baby so he has bleeding the brain would it be possible that when my 3 daughters where jumping on my bed and my 4 month old baby got his head stuck between the wall and bed when they started bouncing that the bed and the wall would make his brain start bleeding ??
Male | 4 months
It is unlikely that the bed and wall incident alone caused your baby's brain to bleed, but it is important to seek medical advice immediately. Brain bleeding in infants can have serious causes. Please consult a pediatric neurologist to understand the situation and get proper care for your baby.

My baby has tongue tie problem
Female | 2
Tongue tie happens when a baby's tongue is held down by a small piece of tissue. Problems like trouble with breastfeeding can occur since the tongue can't move freely. This issue develops if the tissue restricting the tongue is too short. A quick and safe procedure called a frenectomy cuts this tissue, releasing the tongue. Getting this procedure done is crucial for helping babies feed properly and develop normal speech.

Son 13 year old vomiting pain on stomach and headache
Male | 13
The signs of a stomach bug can start with vomiting. Stomach pain and headache are also two other possible symptoms. Often, these bugs are self-limiting and go by themselves, for the time being, ensure he drinks as much as possible to avoid dehydration, and feed him suitable light foods. Should he not feel any better in several days, it's the best option to see a gastroenterologist.
