Why is my baby congested and unsettled today?
Baby very unsettled not acting as he usually does / a lot of congestion in nose, crying more than usual and not passing as much poo as usual today
General Physician
Answered on 27th May '24
Your infant is suffering from either a cold or a slight infection. The stuffiness in their nose may obstruct breathing, thus causing more frequent crying spells. Such a condition can also bring about restlessness. Babies tend to have fewer bowel movements when they have a cold. Ensure that they take enough fluids and get additional sleep. You can relieve the congestion by using a nasal saline spray. However, should these signs continue or worsen, it is imperative to consult a pediatrician.

Hi there! You are experiencing anxiety about your daughter's poop, aren't you? It is very much understandable then. If her stools have been the same for eight months and she is not gaining weight, it may indicate an issue.

It's important to get this checked by a pediatric endocrinologist as early breast development in an 8-year-old could be a sign of precocious puberty. Please consult with a specialist to understand the cause and appropriate treatment if needed.

I have a son who is 4 yrs he snore so loudly at night what could be the issue
Male | 4
It is quite common for kids to snore, however, when it is loud, it may be a hint of a health problem. Snoring mainly occurs when the airflow to your son's lungs is obstructed while he is asleep. This condition can occur because of enlarged tonsils or adenoids, allergies, or simply anatomy. Sometimes it may lead to poor quality of sleep. To assist, consider making his room cooler, keeping his bed clean, and if you're worried, talking to a pediatrician.

My wife breastfeeds my son is 1 year and 2 months old can she take a 5 mg clonazepam tablet just one day once is it harmful in the same way???
Female | 20
Clonazepam gets into breast milk, potentially harming babies. Avoiding its use during breastfeeding, mainly without medical guidance, proves crucial. Infants might experience drowsiness, breathing difficulties, and additional side effects due to Clonazepam. Before consuming any medication while nursing, consulting a doctor seems advisable for your wife's well-being.

I am 12 years old and I am a female who has been having chest pain for at least 2 and a half years now. It has been happening with sharp pains either my left arm or right arm. It hurts very badly and sometimes I feel very sharp pains near the chest area. Though breast pain may not have to do with this but I get it when I'm not on my period or when my period isn't even yet to come. Today I have felt a sharp pain near the breast area , underneath them. The chest pains as well come every so often. There were times were I wasn't able to sleep due to the pain near or on my chest. I have told my parents and seen a doctor once but the doctors said nothing about it at all and only talked about my allergies. So I'm concerned if this is bad because there are times I think I wont be alive by the next day because of the pain. Maybe I am just overthinking but I don't want to not know what's going on. So please answer my concerns if you can.
Female | 12

You must see a cardiologist. Next time remember it is vital to point out chest pain including other symptoms. Based on this observation and your results, they may suggest the needed tests.
