Am I Contagious If Coughing After Being Ill?

He been ill last night and didn’t go school Today and been coughing aswell

Answered on 19th Dec '24

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.

Test and I am having one baby and how it is turning blue in the night and getting sick.

Male | 23

It's worrisome to see your baby turn blue and get sick. These symptoms can be a warning sign of insufficient oxygen supply, which can be rooted to obstruction of the air pipe or a respiratory problem. Other potential causes are, allergies and the environment. Check if your baby is in a comfortable position and watch out for their breathing. Make the surroundings peaceful and free of smoke. Urgently refer a pediatrician, who can perform a thorough examination and help your child so that they secure their health early. Don't forget the early stage of treatment is essential and, you need not doubt but seek for professional help to be sure that you are doing the right thing with your baby.

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.

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.

Hello is 80cm waist circumference healthy for a 11 year old boy who is 155cm tall and weighs 51kg

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.

Hi my son is 4 years old he is suffering from dry cough almost from 2months we have used many medicine but it's not working he is vomiting also after every meal including water also

Male | 4

Chronic cough will need proper history taking and clinical examination of the child. Gastroesophageal reflux disease can also cause vomiting and chronic cough. Please visit nearest pediatrician for proper treatment.

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.

My child doesn't speak in sentence

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.
