Investigating Low-Grade Fever in 6-Year-Old PFAPA Patient
6 year old boy, have PFAPA, had his latest periodic fever at 25th december 2023, got glutation to be better and did not have any bad reaction to it. At 3 januari 2024 he got vitamin d, omega3, turmeric and resveratrol, and got an allergic reaction one day later and got antihistamin medicin. Five days after that he got fever, but very low, in normally his temperature is at 37 celcius but now between 37.6-37.9. The fever appears only at afternoon in about 30 minutes and then disappears. It has been going on like this for a week now. Otherwise he is fine and this is not the typical fever he gets at PFAPA. I am wondering if this sounds like something dangerous or if its still a reaction to the supplement he got only once, or if it sounds like an infection? Maybe corona?

It sounds like your 6-year-old son's current symptoms may be a reaction to the supplements or a mild infection. Given his history of PFAPA and the recent allergic reaction, it's important to consult with a pediatrician to determine the exact cause.

Hi, my baby was born without the soft spot on his head should I be concerned?
Male | 1
Babies often arrive without the soft spot called a fontanelle. This happens when head bones join early before birth. Generally, it's fine, as long as the baby grows well. Though you'll want to mention it to your pediatrician. They can check that development is on track. If any issues arise, the doctor will advise next steps.

Hi! I just started wetting the bed two nights in a row. My friend gave me one of his kids Huggies 4t-5t Pull Ups to try. I tried one on and it fit perfect actually since I am small for my age. I woke up wet today. I also have tried out a pacifier that they gave me for better sleep for a few nights.
Male | 26
Bedwetting as an adult can be due to various reasons like stress, urinary tract infections, or other medical conditions. It's important to see a urologist to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. Using pull-ups or pacifiers may help in the short term, but consulting a specialist is the best step for a long-term solution.

If my son is sick and he was around another sick child that probably has the same cold he has and they started something can my child get worse
Male | 3
Catching a cold is likely if exposed to someone who's sick. Colds come from viruses - tiny germs. Symptoms may include coughing, sneezing, runny nose, fever sometimes. To help your son recover, ensure he rests well, drinks plenty of fluids, and takes over-the-counter medicine if required.

I have a daughter she is 14 months old she is a preterm baby born in 34 weeks 5 days she is responsive can talk some words like mama papa and all but not able to sit properly and walk sometime stiff her legs
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.

Hi, Hi, my son received an antibiotic today, Amoxicillin 250/5ml, no dosage was given. The son is 12 years old and weighs 60 kg.
Mężczyzna | 12
At 12 years old, 60 kg, the typical dose: is 25 mg/kg daily. So, approximately 1500 mg per day for your son, divided into 12-hour intervals. However, consult your doctor for the precise dosage based on his condition. Ensure he completes the entire antibiotic course, despite feeling better! Inform your doctor if side effects occur, such as rash, diarrhea, or vomiting.

My kid is 3yrs old still not talking
Female | 3
Some children take time to develop speaking skills. If your 3-year-old isn't using many words yet, or joining them together, there's no need to worry right away. However, it's wise to have their hearing checked. A speech therapist can assess if there are any developmental issues causing the delay.

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.

Your kid seems to have a cold, fever, and stomach issues. They are sneezing, coughing, feverish, and their stomach is upset. This could be due to a virus. Ensure your child rests adequately. Make them drink plenty of fluids. Feed them light, nutritious foods like soups. You can give them child-safe medicines to reduce fever and soothe their upset tummy.

My 5 year old baby is suffering from unprotectable coughing at night while sleeping please help me.. how to control her cough.. she is unable to sleep continuously for 5 minutes
Female | 5
It seems your child is having trouble with nighttime coughing, which can be tough for both of you. This coughing might be due to throat or chest irritation. You can try using a humidifier to add moisture to the air, giving her warm drinks like water or herbal tea before bed, and slightly elevating her head while she sleeps. These steps may help reduce the coughing.

Female | 9
Your daughter might be struggling with her height. Missing out on food and going to sleep early could be bad for her health. Kids need to eat well for growth. She could be lacking certain nutrients or having a sleeping pattern that affects how much she eats. You should take her to see a pediatrician who will advise you on proper feeding and healthy practices that help in growing up.

1 days baby in normal delivery so His baby jaundiced so NICU is mandatory
Female | 1
When newborns have jaundice after natural births, monitoring it closely matters. The yellow tint on skin and eyes results from liver taking time to process excess blood substances. NICU care may be required to check and restore normal levels. Special light treatments usually resolve this soon.

Your sister seems to be under the weather. The flu virus causes cough, bulgum, and occasionally ear pain. An ear infection may be present, causing discomfort in her right ear. Taking her to an ENT specialist examination is advisable. They will inspect her ear and prescribe appropriate medication to alleviate her symptoms promptly.

My name Tulsi my sister have pregnant and she got ultrasound and result is Normal but one problem mcdk in baby kidney
Female | 28
The doctor saw in an ultrasound that it had a Multicystic Dysplastic Kidney (MCDK). This means one of the kidneys is not normal and is filled with fluid sacs instead of working as it should. Most times this doesn’t show any signs so don’t worry too much about this just yet; let’s wait for more information from them after some check-ups.

My child I caughing and also her palm is white
Female | 9
This arises when the body lacks sufficient oxygen. Coughing often signals infections or allergic reactions. Meanwhile, pale palms suggest low red blood cell count. Ensure your child breathes comfortably and remains calm. However, it's advisable to consult a pediatrician for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment promptly.

My daughter aged 6 yrs 10 months .She is suffering from pain in mid of chest everyday after dinner.sometimes she feels some burning in throat We are giving her antacids likeRantac, sucralfate,Gelusuil.But no relief.What can we do?
Female | 44
Your daughter's chest discomfort and throat burning after dinner are concerning. These could indicate acid reflux, when stomach acid rises into the esophagus. Sometimes, antacids aren't enough. Try smaller meals, avoid spicy/acidic foods. Also, elevate her bed's headrest. This may reduce symptoms. If issues persist, consult a cardiologist. They can recommend treatments or evaluate further.
