Child experiencing diarrhea and rash post pedialax suppository
Gave my son a pedialax suppository to help him poop and he’s had diarrhea for about 3days now and has a pretty bad rash from it what can I do?is it normal?

Answered on 28th June '24
The Pedialax suppository seems to have caused those side effects. Diarrhea happens when the tummy gets irritated. Rashes come from skin irritation. Give your son lots of water to stay hydrated. Put a gentle cream on the rash. If it doesn't improve soon, talk to a doctor. These issues should go away, but get help if needed. Reach out to a pediatrician for advice if concerns persist.

How can i relieve my baby from colic pain and gas. I give him colimex drops but are of no use.
Male | 2.5 months
Babies can get colic and gas. Colic is when babies cry intensely. Gas makes babies uncomfortable. It happens when they swallow air while feeding. Or, they have a sensitive tummy. Try massaging their stomach gently. Burp them frequently during feedings too. Keep their surroundings quiet and calm. Don't overfeed them quickly. Keep them upright after feedings. Warm baths and gentle rocking might help soothe them too. With these tips, your baby should feel better soon.

My 10 month old daughter poops after every feed..wether I give her milk or banana or cerelac...she poops after eating or drinking anything...pls suggest something
Female | 10 month old
It's usual for newborns to poop after eating, yet a consistent movement with a loose or watery content could indicate a sensitive stomach. The probable cause of this might be a certain food in its diet that is not serving well to her. Your food diary can point you in the right direction by showing you the link between her reaction to food and food consumption. It will be worthwhile to discuss this with a pediatrician, who will reassure you about its healthiness and help you figure out ways to get rid of it if there is any malaise. Make sure your child gets enough fluids and give her foods that are easy on the stomach, such as rice and bananas.

Sir my daughter has chest congestion last 14 days& cold&cough.pls tell me the best medicine fr congestion.
Female | 2
Your daughter is experiencing symptoms commonly associated with respiratory infections, such as chest congestion, cough, and a cold. These can be caused by viruses, allergies, or irritants in the environment. To alleviate her discomfort, consider using a humidifier, warm fluids, and over-the-counter medications like expectorants or antihistamines, which can help in easing congestion. However, if her symptoms persist or worsen, it is essential to consult a pediatrician for a thorough evaluation and tailored care.

For my child there are worms inside tey are not going I have used bandy syrup also but that are not killing
Female | 5
Oh no, it is sad to hear about worms in your child's stomach. Such worms may cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, itching, or fatigue. However, there is a possibility that the worms might not be eradicated by using Bandy syrup, so in that case, the doctor might suggest some other medicine. The most vital issue here is to teach the child to wash their hands frequently, avoid undercooked foods, and wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly. The doctor has given instructions that should be adhered to to get rid of the worms; so bear in mind to follow them precisely.

My 10 month old baby got fever after every month from last 3 to 4 months ,, temperature varies from 100 to 102 c I have a blood test report I want to discuss about the report
Male | 0
In children, any fever above 100 degrees Fahrenheit should be investigated. It might mean there’s an infection present. It’s important to go through the blood test report for any indications of an infection. The most likely causes are respiratory or urinary tract infections. After you get the results, make sure you book another appointment with a pediatrician so that they can recommend the right treatment.

My baby does not eat properly and is always crying. His weight is -10 kg. LFT Test is done. SGOT -49.5. u/l,SGPT-24.6 u/l, Serum Alkaline Phosphate -684.6 u/l.
Male | 1
The weight reading as negative may be a sign of a measurement error. The outcome of the LFT test suggests that some of the liver enzyme concentrations are not within the normal range, which might be due to several reasons like infections or liver problems. You should consult a pediatrician.

Female | 1mont
Aapka chhota baccha agar thoda beemar mehsoos kar raha hai, toh sabse pehle unke symptoms par dhyaan deejiyega, jaise ki khaansi, zukhaam, ya bukhar. Aksar, yeh symptoms virus ke infection se hote hain. Aise mein, hydration bahut zaroori hai, isliye unhe zyada paani ya doodh pilate rahen. Thande ya garam bhap lene se bhi relif mil sakta hai. Lekin, agar symptoms severe ho ya lambey samay tak chale, toh doctor se sampark karna zaroori hai. Sirf ek pediatrician hi behtar guidance de sakte hain.

My daughter who is 20 months old hasnt pooped in the last 6 days...but doesnt show any sign of discomforts...Im trying to give her more liquid foods and she has her food also properly...what are the steps i need to take to make sure she poops..what are foods i need to include for her
Female | 1
Don't stress if your 20-month-old hasn't pooped for 6 days but seems okay. Constipation is normal for kids. You're right to offer more liquids. Water, prune juice, pears are good options. Whole grains, veggies, beans may also assist. Keep her active. If she still doesn't poop after trying these, it's wise to see a pediatrician.

Hi! I just started wetting the bed two nights in a row. My friend gave me one of his kids Huggies 4t-5t Pull Ups to try. I tried one on and it fit perfect actually since I am small for my age. I woke up wet today. I also have tried out a pacifier that they gave me for better sleep for a few nights.
Male | 26
Bedwetting as an adult can be due to various reasons like stress, urinary tract infections, or other medical conditions. It's important to see a urologist to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. Using pull-ups or pacifiers may help in the short term, but consulting a specialist is the best step for a long-term solution.

Female | 0
Babies double their weight by six months, so it's good you pay attention. If yours isn't gaining weight properly, reasons could include insufficient intake, medical issues, or natural smallness. Rather than calculating solo, discuss with the pediatrician - they'll identify the actual cause and recommend ideal steps for your little one's progress.

Hi my baby is struggling to poop it's been 3weeks I even Change the formula but still he is 1month old he cry day and night
Male | 1 month
It seems like the kid is constipated. This is when they find it hard to pass stool. It may be due to the type of formula they are taking or insufficient intake of fluids. You can give them some water in between feeds or massage their stomach gently to relieve the discomfort. If it persists, it would be best for you to take them to a doctor who can check for any underlying problems.

Being underweight and appearing frail can result from various factors, including poor nutrition, underlying health issues, or stress. Symptoms may include fatigue and lack of energy. To support his health, encourage a well-balanced diet rich in proteins, healthy fats, and whole grains. Regular meals and snacks can also help. Consider involving a pediatrician for personalized advice and to rule out any medical concerns. Professional guidance is key to ensuring his growth and well-being.

Male | 3
It's hard to witness your baby encounter difficulties. When children have low-IQ, they can be slow to grasp new knowledge. Failing to reach a low IQ could arise from several reasons. The riddle here is regarding the penis rubbing which could be resulting either from boredom or irritation. To assist your kid, work on love, patience, and fun activities. If the swelling continues, the pediatrician will guide you.

My son is 3 years 7 months old. He is having ADHD and delayed speech problem. Last month he suffered from hand foot mouth infection but he recovered in few days. After that infection, his nature has changed a lot. He cries without any reason. When he gets up in the morning he cry for almost an hour. In day time also he starts crying at any time and we are unable to understand any reason for that. We try to do all the things which he likes but he only stops crying after 1 to 2 hours. The same problem happens at night also. On some days he wake up at 3-4 am and starts crying and after an hour he stops and then go for sleep. As he does not speak anything we do not understand what problem he is facing. He is also undergoing therapies for ADHD and speech delay. But at therapy centre also he keeps on crying. He was moody earlier also but after HFM infection this crying problem has increased a lot. Pls guide.
Male | 3
It sounds like your son's recent changes in behavior might be linked to his recovery from the hand, foot, and mouth infection. Such infections can sometimes cause lingering discomfort or changes in behavior. Given his ADHD and speech delay, it is crucial to consult with his pediatrician and a child psychiatrist to evaluate any underlying issues. They can provide a thorough assessment and tailor interventions to help manage his symptoms.

My 9 year old kid ate mold cake by mistake. What should we do? Do we want to take him to the hospital? Not showing any symptoms now .
Male | 9
Mold exposure can trigger health issues in some people, but not everyone is affected. It's important to watch for symptoms like stomach swelling, vomiting, diarrhea, or nausea. Generally, if the child appears well, there’s no major cause for concern. Encourage drinking water as the main beverage, and if any symptoms do appear, consult a doctor for evaluation.
