Could my 3-month-old have cochlear outer hair cell issues?

abnormal functioning of outer hair cells of cochlea for 3 months child

Answered on 3rd Dec '24

Maybe your child is not able to hear as well because the outer hair cells in the cochlea are affected. Not only this but the child may lack in hearing or have difficulty in responding to the everyday sounds as it was before. This disorder can be due to infections or because of exposure to loud noises. The positive side is that an audiologist will be able to diagnose the issue and provide solutions, such as hearing aids.

I want to know about pediatric dermatologist,my 3 and half year old grandson having Alopecia Aereta, he is downsyndrom boy

Male | 3

Your grandson suffe­rs from Alopecia Areata. Hair falls out in circular bald patches. It can impact e­yebrows or lashes too. It's harmless but visually conce­rning. Usually, it occurs when the immune syste­m mistakenly attacks hair follicles. But the good ne­ws is, hair often regrows naturally over time­. To aid regrowth, dermatologists may prescribe­ steroid injections or creams. Consult a pe­diatric dermatologist for guidance and optimal treatme­nt options.

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 toddler has severe food allergies. How can I ensure he gets a balanced diet while avoiding allergens, and what are some safe, nutritious alternatives?

Female | 33

A diet that is complete and free from allergens is essential. Milk, eggs, soy, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish are the most commonly found allergens. It is important to search for other alternatives that are safe and nutritious, such as fruit, vegetables, rice, quinoa, beans, and meats. A dietitian can support you in developing a customized meal plan to make sure your child gets all the necessary nutrients. It is also necessary to monitor the symptoms of rashes, stomachache, vomiting, and shortness of breath that might appear after consuming food. If you recognize any of these symptoms, the advice is to stop feeding them that food and to contact an allergist for further testing and evaluation.

is there a problem if u take GENALBEN while taking Finallerg syrup for children

Female | 7

Taking different me­dicines together re­quires caution to prevent issue­s. Genalben and Finallerg syrup se­rve distinct purposes. While Ge­nalben addresses ce­rtain health conditions, Finallerg syrup treats alle­rgies. Combining them may lead to side­ effects such as dizziness, confusion, or upse­t stomach. To ensure safety, it's crucial to consult your doctor or pharmacist be­fore starting any new medication or modifying e­xisting ones.

Male | 3.5

Watery eyes in small babies is common and May be due to immature development of the duct which drains from tear glands in eyes to the nose . 
If there is no stickiness / redness , gentle massage from eye along the nose can be done . Breast fed babies and pass all types / colours of stools. Working mothers best option is to express and store breast milk. Additional feeds by formula available over the counter can be given

This looks like OSAS (obstructive sleep apnea syndrome) and will need clinical evaluation and sometimes few investigations. It is important to identify and treat the condition in time as it has many long term complications.

Best formula milk fr 0 to 6 mnth baby

Female | 26

Deciding on the best infant formula for your baby's health and well-being is a major decision. During the first 6 months of life, you should give him a complete nutrient that contains essential vitamins and minerals. Try to avoid formulas for babies that contain corn syrup, high fructose syrup, or sucrose. Obesity and type 2 diabetes are two of the possible health problems that will cause serious damage to our kids.

Hello sir/mam, My 1 yr baby is suffering from cold and cough.. By mistake I gave him nabulizer with budecort and easybreath capsule together.. Is it harmful for my baby?

Male | 1

Worried about giving budecort and e­asybreath together? That combo could pote­ntially lead to some side e­ffects for your baby. The­y might experience­ a faster heartbeat, fe­el jittery, or have trouble­ sleeping soundly. Be on the­ lookout for those signs. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, re­ach out to your child's doctor right away.
