Can I give my son worm pills again?
My son is five years old and he has occasional worms. I gave him pills two months ago. If he gets them again, can I give him the pills again?

Answered on 21st Dec '24
Some of the signs covered are itching on the anus, tummy aches, and changes in the appetite. If your child receives the same treatment that was administered two months ago and the same symptoms are present again, it is generally okay to give the standard medication. But it is very important to get the advice from a pediatrician before making any step in this direction. Moreover, with good hygiene manners, like proper handwashing and shorter nails, the chances of re-invading worms are lower.

I am a mother to a 4yrs old boy He has a swollen neck under his ear with high fever that doesn't go away after taking ovc antibiotics,, please what should I do
Male | 4years
It seems that your son might have an inflammation which is probably related to the lymph nodes or salivary glands and that can make the body part transfer and the temperature of another part rise. Viral infections, bacterial infections, or dental problems are all common reasons. Due to the fact that the antibiotics you got from the drug store have not worked, it’s important to take him to the pediatrician. Who can diagnose and suggest the needful tests or treatments for him.

Hi. My son has dry cough. In morning I gave him dry syrup by mistake which was made 1 month ago. And its expiry date is 2024.is there any side effects of this?
Male | 6
If your child swallowed dry syrup prepared last month, yet unexpired, it's typically harmless. Expired medications might gradually diminish efficacy but rarely induce illness. Unless your son exhibits nausea, vomiting, rash, or other abnormal symptoms, he'll likely remain unaffected. Monitor him and consult a pediatrician promptly if any concerning signs arise.

1 year and half baby girl always crossing her legs and wriggles her waist sympee
Female | 2
It is not uncommon for babies to move in various ways as they develop. Occasionally, babies may cross their legs and wiggle excessively. The reason for this is that they are usually discovering different body movements. If you have a healthy and happy baby, there should be no reason for you to be worried. Nevertheless, if you find any bizarre symptoms in your baby or your baby seems to be uncomfortable, consulting a pediatrician would be a great idea to be sure that everything is alright.

My 1 year old daughter is always rubbing her ears and putting her fingers in her ears.
Female | 1
An ear infection caused by bacteria or viruses is the most common reason. Colds can sometimes cause this too. To help, give pain medicine and use a warm cloth on the ear. If earaches persist, take your child to see a pediatrician for an examination.

My daughter is 4 years old and still she is not talking properly. She sometimes talks but nobody understands what she speaks. It feels as if she is talking in some other language. Sometimes she speaks to herself. She repeats whatever she watches in the mobile or TV. What do you think could be the problem? I don’t think she has hearing problem then why is she not growing like regular kids. What do you think her condition is? Whom should I consult?
Female | 3
Your daughter may have a speech delay. There could be different reasons for this. Sometimes the mouth muscles are still too weak. In other cases, the problem may be with hearing or some other condition underneath. It’s good to see a speech therapist. They’ll be able to evaluate her and offer suitable treatment that will help improve her speaking abilities.

Hi My baby is vomiting having a calcium syrup
Male | 1
Your baby may throw up after taking calcium syrup. Vomiting can come from an upset stomach or not tolerating the syrup well. Stop giving the syrup if vomiting occurs. Provide smaller feedings instead. Keep offering small sips of water to prevent dehydration. However, persistent vomiting or signs of illness require seeking medical help promptly. Babies sometimes struggle with new supplements, so close monitoring is wise.

Hi, my baby was born without the soft spot on his head should I be concerned?
Male | 1
Babies often arrive without the soft spot called a fontanelle. This happens when head bones join early before birth. Generally, it's fine, as long as the baby grows well. Though you'll want to mention it to your pediatrician. They can check that development is on track. If any issues arise, the doctor will advise next steps.

Female | 2.5 months
Your baby girl of 2.5 months coughs and has thick mucus. Perhaps she has a cold or respiratory infection. Offer liquids to keep her hydrated. Cool-mist humidifiers can help. Use a nasal suction bulb gently on her nose. Seek a pediatrician immediately if she has fever or breathes hard.

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.

Children develop differently, some take more time than others. Your child's social struggles may indicate delayed brain growth. Delays appear as learning difficulties, atypical behavior, or communication troubles. Multiple factors contribute: genetics, birth issues, early experiences. A specialist can help with tailored therapies and support. Creating an encouraging home and promoting social activities aids progress.

Is fresh milk suitable for a 2 month old baby? what are the consequences?
Female | 0
Regular fresh milk isn't ideal for 2-month-old infants. It can lead to stomach issues like cramps, diarrhea, and discomfort. Babies' digestive systems can't process it well at that age. Stick to formula or breastmilk until your little one is older. If you notice fussiness, frequent spit-up, or unusual bowel movements after giving fresh milk, stop immediately. Consult your pediatrician for guidance on introducing new foods safely.

My baby has tongue tie problem
Female | 2
Tongue tie happens when a baby's tongue is held down by a small piece of tissue. Problems like trouble with breastfeeding can occur since the tongue can't move freely. This issue develops if the tissue restricting the tongue is too short. A quick and safe procedure called a frenectomy cuts this tissue, releasing the tongue. Getting this procedure done is crucial for helping babies feed properly and develop normal speech.

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.
