Patient's Query

Boy 4year old fever 100.2° F shivering cold feets , feeling sleepy, tired due to early morning wake up and all day travel playing ( history of febrile seizure )

Pediatrics And Pediatric Surgery

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

A fever of 100.2°F, shivering, cold feet, sleepiness, and fatigue can be the indicators of an infection that has occurred in his body. You should not take lightly the record of a febrile seizure which necessitates you to keep watch on his temperature. You should ensure that he is sleeping enough, getting enough water, and feeling comfortable in his clothes. If the fever continues or other unusual symptoms appear, consult a pediatrician.

My child got vaccinated and got swelling on injected area ..what should i understand by this that vaccination is done properly or not and how should i treat my child to get rid of pain and swelling.

Male | 5

Swelling, and pain at the injection area - this is normal for kids after vaccination. The body responds by building immunity. Cold packs soothe discomfort; acetaminophen helps too. Persistent swelling warrants checking with the doctor. But generally, these reactions indicate the vaccine is working as intended.

Hello My 11 year old son started showing covid symptoms on Tuesday August 1st. I tested him Friday August 4th and it was positive. I tested him again this morning and it's still positive. I was wondering if he still needs to quarantine. School is Monday and I dont know if he should go or not.

Male | 11

It's worrying your son caught COVID-19. He needs to stay quarantined, even with a positive test. COVID-19 spreads easily, and symptoms are gone or not. Common signs are coughing, fever, and tiredness. Protecting others means avoiding the spread. So stay home until not contagious.

Hi my 4 months old baby has been having a diarrhea than we took him to the hospital n they prescribed me septrin for the diarrhea n his been overdose his pooping yellow watery, vomiting, skin heating up what should I do?

Male | 4 months

It’s understandable to be concerned about your baby's symptoms. Yellow, watery stools and vomiting can indicate gastrointestinal distress, possibly due to an infection or adverse reaction to medication. Elevated skin temperature may suggest a fever. It's crucial to keep your baby hydrated by offering frequent small sips of oral rehydration solution. Watch for any worsening symptoms, such as blood in stool or increased lethargy. I recommend reaching out to your pediatrician or visiting the hospital again for a thorough assessment.

Male | 24

Chickenpox brings an itchy situation. Red spots cover your body from this viral infection. Recover faster by resting and drinking lots of fluids. Don't scratch the blisters. Stay clean - wash hands often, and keep nails trimmed to avoid infections. Lukewarm baths can ease itching, but avoid hot water. Eat nutritious foods like fruits, veggies, and lean proteins.

My 1 year old hit his head recently and has been trying to sleep when he does fall asleep he’s hard to wake up just curious on what I should do

Male | 1

Many parents worry if their child bumps their head. A toddler who's hard to wake after a head injury may indicate a serious issue. Be alert for constant tiredness, throwing up, or pupils that look different sizes. See a pediatrician quickly to be sure all is well. With young kids' head injuries, it's best to get checked rather than risk harm.

Hi , I just found out that my daughter has swelling on her right side of head, is it normal? She's been born on 7 dec 9 days ago, she came to the world by normal delivery. Her swelling is soft and not painful when touching, its size is almost 1 inch approx , her feeding is good, and she doesn't have any coughing or fever . She has jaundice with yellow eyes. I am so worried let me know please.

Female | 9 days

The swelling, in newborns, can sometimes be normal, particularly when it is not very thick and does not cause any discomfort. This could be because the baby is not lying in the best position or that they have a small fluid collection. On the other hand, jaundice is very common in babies, which means that babies should be observed all the time. I suggest you discuss the matter with your child's pediatrician and get a full examination to exclude any possible health concerns and get specialized advice.

My son is suffering from sever cold and cough unable to sleep at night

Male | 1

The fact that your child is unwell, makes your concerns the more reasonable. Symptoms like a runny nose, persistent cough, and difficulty resting can be signs of either a viral infection or allergies. To avoid discomfort, make him stay hydrated and test if the pediatrician's advice to use a humidifier in his room to relax his airways is the best one. A little elevation of his head could also be of some help. Warm fluids like soup or herbal tea are well-liked, mind you. If his condition doesn't improve after several days have passed or worsens, it's advisable to go to the pediatrician for a checkup so that the doctor can decide the best course of treatment and give appropriate advice.

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.

Female | 10

Your sister might experience anxiety. Anxiety causes shortness of breath, trembling, and disrupted sleep. It also affects appetite, leaving one feeling weak. When the body is stressed, it impacts our well-being and eating habits. A crucial step is helping her relax. Simple activities like deep breathing, calming music, or enjoyable hobbies can soothe her mind. Ensure the eats well, even if it's small, frequent meals. Encourage healthy snacks like fruits, veggies, and nuts. If her condition doesn't improve, it's advisable to consult the doctor again.

Your son has a common lip bite injury. Swelling is normal and should go down in a few days. To help with this, gently press a cold compress on the outside of his lip. Painamol can be effective for the pain. Keep an eye on him to ensure he can still eat and drink comfortably.

"I would like to ask a pediatrician about my 3-year-old daughter, Sela. She has been experiencing gum issues for almost a month, with one gum coming in every two days. Is this dangerous? Additionally, she sometimes holds her stomach, but she doesn’t have any other symptoms. What should I do?"

Female | 3

It's quite common for young children to experience gum discomfort as their teeth emerge. This can cause tenderness and minor irritation. While the occasional holding of her stomach may indicate mild discomfort, without other symptoms, it may not be alarming. Ensure she is maintaining good oral hygiene and consider offering soft foods to help ease any discomfort. If her symptoms persist, or if you notice any unusual changes, it would be wise to consult your pediatrician for a thorough evaluation and reassurance. Professional guidance is key to ensuring her health and comfort.
