To have worries when someone is sick is a very normal thing. Conditions like colds, which may come with symptoms such as a sore throat and fatigue, could be the reason for the infection, both the common ones and the mild ones. The best cure for it is rest, water, and a diet that provides relevant nutrients. Using a humidifier will savvily ease coughing. If the symptoms do not go or get worse with some other problem, it is reasonable to discuss this health issue with a pediatrician.

Measels for my 14 years boy with rashes .....could it be slow down
Male | 14
Measles is a virus causing fever, coughing, runny nose, and red rash. It spreads easily. You need rest, fluids, and isolation. The measles vaccine prevents this illness. However, measles often resolve without treatment. Still, call your doctor if concerned.

My daughter laughs all day and can't concentrate
Female | 17
Lots of laughter can indicate other problems. Kids may laugh excessively to hide stress or anxiety. Speak candidly with your daughter about her feelings. You may need counseling to manage emotions better. Early intervention helps kids feel better faster. Note laughter and concentration difficulties. These signs could signify deeper issues needing attention.

the patient in hospital is a young girl and doctor wants to take her C.T. scan but she is crying too much and it difficult to control her in that condition what would doctor do
Female | 6
Crying is normal when frightened. To make the girl calmer, speak softly, give comfort, and explain the scans like taking a picture inside her body. Ask her parent to hold her hand or be close while it happens. This might help her feel safer. Giving her a favorite toy or music could also distract her from the scan's happenings.

My daughter is 5.3 years old. Her weight is 14.4kg and height -110cm. She hardly feels hungry and since more than 1 year her weight has not increased. She just wants to play and while with friends forgets to eat and drink. In fact since 2 months, there's bit white spot in her face. She doesn't listen/ follow any elderly soon. Can say bit stubborn and sometimes if we donot listen to her, she will cry and try to snatch/hit too.
Female | 5
In this case, her eating habits. Over a proper diet and acne-like problems, though can be infections of the milder kind. Quiet time with regular meals and snacks can help. Offering small but attractive portions and ensuring a welcoming eating environment can promote the children's successful nutrition. After you are ready, could you take a step and involve a pediatrician to consider possible links between her behavioral manifestations and diagnostic tests? The method you take to guide her is critical in enabling her to be healthier.

What decongestant can i take while breastfeeding
Best is to take nasal decongestant sprays for a short duration as prescribed by your physician. It's locally acting, quick relief and a negligible amount is absorbed into the circulation.

Male | 15
Weight fluctuations during adolescence are normal. Gaining from 53 kgs at 12 to 71 kgs at 15 is expected. As teens grow taller and their bodies change, weight gain comes naturally. Maintain a balanced diet and stay active. If worried, talk to a pediatrician for reassurance.

Hello doctor .had doubt on febrile convulsion.my daughter 2 years and 7 months old had febrile convulsion with fever..on March 9.at 2 am..after 35 hours had another one convulsion..after that take frisium 5mg tablet with doctor consultation..now fever gone ..is it simple or complex seizure convulsion?I had febrile convulsion at age 2 of mine?What could be reasons?
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.

Male | 11
For an 11-year-old boy around 155cm tall, weighing 51kg, an 80cm waist size could be a bit large. A bigger waistline at a young age might cause future health concerns like diabetes or heart issues. To maintain good health, balanced meals are crucial. Additionally, engaging in enjoyable exercises and discussing waist size monitoring with an adult could be beneficial.

Baby is vommitting again and again. What should be done?
Female | 4
Babies sometimes vomit too much food. Perhaps your little one ate quickly or had a slight illness. Keep giving small sips to prevent dehydration. However, constant vomiting needs medical attention. Reach out to a pediatrician if vomiting persists to get advice and proper care.

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.

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
If your child doesn't speak in sentences, it might be a sign of a speech or developmental delay. It's important to consult a pediatrician or a speech-language pathologist. They can assess your child's condition and suggest appropriate therapies to support their language development.

My daughter is 12.5 years old and 165 cm tall. She already has got her period last year when she was 11. Father is 5 feet 8 inch and mother s height is 5 feet 2 inches. I'm worried if she has stopped growing. Can she get few more inches. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much.
Female | 12
Girls her age, 12.5, often keep on growing for some more years. Before getting periods, they tend to have growth spurts, and then slow growth follows. Since your girl had her period at 11, there might be more growing left. Things like her genes, eating well, and being healthy affect growth. Keep encouraging healthy foods, enough sleep, and exercise for her. If worried, chatting with her doctor could help.

Baby seems like he has been constipated
Male | 2 month
Constipation takes place when someone struggles passing bowel movements. Babies might seem irritable, avoid pooping regularly, or produce firm stools. This occurs due to inadequate hydration, dietary fiber, or fruits and vegetables. Ensuring your child consumes sufficient fluids and fiber-rich foods can alleviate discomfort. However, if the issue persists, consulting a pediatrician is advisable.

Your 7-year-old has an inguinal hernia. Part of their intestine pushes through a weak spot near their groin. It may appear as a small bulge. Sometimes, it causes pain or discomfort. Surgery is typically recommended to repair it. This quick procedure helps avoid potential complications. Be sure to discuss the optimal care option with a surgeon for your child.

My daughter by name Bhuvi is 1year 10months old.She drinks only Cow’s milk.She doesn’t eat anything.She drinks around 1litre of milk every day and this has become her Main food.To make her eat food i used to give her variety of foods and give milk only two times during night for 12days.She used to eat very little and drink milk whatever I gave.But she became very weak and lost some weight.She had less energy.There was no improvement in eating food so what should I do now?
Female | 2
Weakness and weight loss in her mean that she is not doing well. Such a restricted diet has caused her to be deficient in necessary nutrients.You could support her in eating by simply making each meal more exciting for her through the introduction of bright, small, and delicious foods. If the issue persists, visiting a pediatrician would be beneficial for further evaluation and guidance.

My daughter is getting fever every month from last 3 months. The gap is between 2 fever is 4-5 week.every time pattern of the fever is same. It remains for 5 days first 2 days comes in every 4-5 hours then next 2 days comes in every 13-14 hours and last 5th day it comes only once in 24 hours and then it goes.along with fever she get sore thorat as well every time. Is it just a viral or periodic fever syndrome because every time pattern and time is same
Female | 2
Based on your description, your daughter may have recurrent fever syndrome. This condition involves frequent episodes of high body temperature occurring in a regular pattern. It can result from various causes, such as infections, inflammation, or genetic factors. Since she also has a sore throat, a viral infection is likely the cause. Ensure she gets plenty of rest, drinks a lot of water, and takes fever-reducing medication if she has a fever. Make an appointment with a pediatrician as soon as possible and get her checked regularly.
