Can my daughter with head injury play soccer?
7 year old daughter had a fall on Saturday and cut the back of her head. She needed staples which will be removed tomorrow. Doctor said to monitor for any signs of head trauma within first 24 hours. She did not vomit, pass out, or have any pupil dilation when it occured. Doctor didn’t even check during visit. No issues within the 24 hour period and nothing since. Questions is, would she be able to participate in her soccer game with her team as goalie?

It's great to hear your daughter has shown no signs of head trauma after her fall. However, given that she had staples placed in her head, it’s best to avoid any physical activities like soccer until the wound has fully healed and the staples are removed. Please consult with her pediatrician or the doctor who treated her to get personalized advice on when she can safely return to sports.

Your daughter might have a fever causing convulsions. A fever means high body temperature, from infection or illness. Convulsions are uncontrollable body shaking. Use a cool compress and acetaminophen to lower the fever. Keep her hydrated. Watch closely. If convulsions persist, get medical help right away.

3 yrs girl having high fever what should we do
Female | 3
A high fever in a small kid can be concerning. Infections frequently cause fevers. Find out if she has other signs like coughing, runny nose, or belly pain too. Give her the proper dose of fever medicine meant for children, for example, acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Ensure she stays hydrated by drinking plenty of liquids. If the fever persists or she seems extremely ill, don't delay - reach out to a pediatrician.

Male | 7
It seems he may have a serious condition causing the fever and weakness. The glucose given by the doctor was likely to provide energy. Not eating for 7 days is quite concerning. It's important to take him back to the doctor for further evaluation and treatment. Meanwhile, ensure he stays hydrated and gets plenty of rest.

2 year baby doing vomiting in 2 days
Female | 2
This happens sometimes. Maybe a small bug crept in, or some food didn't sit right. The key is keeping baby hydrated with tiny sips of water or rehydration drinks. Stick to gentle eats like bananas and rice too. But if puking persists, or other concerning signs show up, get that checked by a pediatrician.

Male | 13
It sounds like your son may have a sleep disorder or excessive daytime sleepiness. I recommend visiting a pediatric neurologist or a sleep specialist. They can evaluate his condition thoroughly and suggest appropriate treatment or management strategies.

Hello please doctor my baby is sick blood is coming from her nose
Female | 0
Dried-out or irritated blood vessels in noses cause bleeds. Reasons include nose-picking, dry air, or hard sneezes. To stop it, make the baby sit up straight. Use your fingers to gently squeeze the soft part of their nose around ten minutes. Put a cool, damp cloth on their forehead too. If nosebleeds occur a lot, check with a pediatrician. There could be an underlying issue making them happen frequently.

My 9 year old kid ate mold cake by mistake. What should we do? Do we want to take him to the hospital? Not showing any symptoms now .
Male | 9
Mold exposure can trigger health issues in some people, but not everyone is affected. It's important to watch for symptoms like stomach swelling, vomiting, diarrhea, or nausea. Generally, if the child appears well, there’s no major cause for concern. Encourage drinking water as the main beverage, and if any symptoms do appear, consult a doctor for evaluation.

Female | 3
Your girl had seizures caused by fever - febrile convulsions. These simple seizures often last under 15 minutes, don't recur frequently in kids. Family history is common. Fever spikes rapidly increase body temperature, triggering convulsions. Monitor her temperature closely. Follow up with her doctor for proper care.

My Daughter is 2 years 47 days old, she has been struggling with stool passing from last one year. At time she can pass it without any struggle but at times she could not. We have consulted multiple doctors but couldn't get a permanent solution. Everytime we visit a new doctor she starts passing her stool easily for next one or two weeks, but after two weeks the prescribed medications from the doctor stops working and we had to go for another doctor or we have to use Suppositories. We have been struggling with this issue from almost a year and have been using Suppositories or visiting different doctor. Please suggest how this could be fixed, also let us know if this is a serious issue. Will this get fixed with passage of time as my daughter reaches the age of 4 or 5 years. Thank you
Female | 2 years 47 days
Your daughter seems to be going through a challenging phase where she sometimes struggles with passing stool. There could have been various reasons for this like diet, less water intake, or maybe some muscle problems. It is a good thing that you have been taking doctors' advice; however, it is essential to detect the root cause of the problem. You can try giving her fiber-rich foods, like fruits, and veggies, to her and ensure she drinks enough water. Keep in touch with your pediatrician to find the best way to take care of your daughter's discomfort.

Female | 1
If your baby has licked Dettol, it's important to keep an eye on her for any signs of discomfort or illness. Since she is active and has taken milk and water, it may be okay, but you should still consult a pediatrician immediately to ensure there are no adverse effects.

For a 5-year-old with prickly heat, keep the affected area cool and dry, dress in loose-fitting, breathable clothing, and apply calamine lotion or a mild hydrocortisone cream to soothe irritation. Avoid excessive sweating and heat exposure. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and treatment.

My baby is 21 months old. Doctor suggested to take echo for my baby and congenital ASD hole with size of 2.1cm was diagnosed. Will this hole gets closed automatically or any surgery needed for this?
Female | 2
Your baby's health situation seems concerning. The echo test finding a hole, an ASD, is worrisome. This hole doesn't always close naturally as babies grow up. Sometimes, surgery becomes necessary to fix it. Watch for trouble breathing or poor growth as warning signs. Speak to your doctor about the ideal treatment path for your child.

My son se 8 year old he has 3 tablets of Imodium know he was breathing very heavyly and some time he was perfectly alright plz help me
Male | 8
This can be caused by the fact that Imodium may slow down your son's metabolic function. When he is breathing heavily, he is essentially trying to increase the oxygen flow to his body. Please do not give him extra Imodium. Likewise, keep an eye on him to see if he goes back to breathing normally again. If he keeps on having breathing issues, it is necessary to visit a pediatrician.

hi there, i've only now come to realise ive had threadworms for almost all my life - i am 15 and i've probably had them since i was 3 or 4. i want to know what medicine i should be getting to take care of this and can i buy this myself? also will treating this affect my metabolism since i read that these threadworms use glucose to survive so does that mean that's the only thing keeping me skinny?
Female | 15
It's important to treat threadworms with proper medication. You can use over-the-counter medicines like mebendazole or albendazole, which are effective. However, it's best to visit a pediatrician or a general physician for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Treating threadworms won't significantly affect your metabolism.
