Why isn't my 5-year-old talking or communicating?
Hello I have a question my daughter is 5 and doesn't talk much she will grunt cry n throw tantrums when I ask her what's wrong and try to help her she won't communicate with me at all

Answered on 24th Sept '24
Your child may be expressing themselves through non-verbal behavior, which could indicate a communication disorder. Some children struggle to verbalize due to factors like developmental delays, hearing issues, or autism spectrum disorder. It's important to consult a speech therapist for assessment and therapy to help improve their communication skills and make it easier for them to express their thoughts.

My 8 years old daughter have cough during playing time(running, climbing stairs, climatic changes). when she was in 3 months & 5 Months old,she admitted in hospital due to cough (lung infection)..... now after vomit her cough is going to better.Is Nimococal vaccination is suggested for her at this age?
Female | 8
Your daughter seems to be struggling with a persistent cough, especially during playtime and with sudden weather changes. Considering her history of lung infections, the pneumococcal vaccination might be a good option. This vaccine helps protect against bacteria that can cause serious illnesses like pneumonia, supporting her lung health. Please check with her pediatrician to see if she is eligible for the vaccine.

My son 4yrs old suffering with Dengue and black motion.is it dangerous?
Male | 4
Your son's ailments sound concerning. Dengue fever, spread by mosquitoes, causes severe illness. Black motion likely indicates gastrointestinal bleeding, which can dangerously lower blood pressure. Ensure he remains hydrated, rests adequately, and seeks prompt medical attention for treatment monitoring.

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.

My baby boy is 1.1 year old. He swallowed a small wooden piece. Please kindly suggest me what to do.
Male | 1
If your little boy swallowed a small piece of wood and is not showing any symptoms such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, or choking, it can be assumed that he will pass it through his stool without any problems. Just make sure to check his poop to see that the piece comes out. Nonetheless, if he exhibits any signs of distress or if the piece does not pass within a few days, it is advisable to seek medical advice as early as possible.

My son 3.7 yars old from last 1 days i notice hi was take long breath after 1 and 2 minutes. And he have some autism problem from last 2yrs but now no any autism problem seen after giving proper guide and attension So i have need to know is this normal in child
Male | 3.7 years
You are doing well by noticing that your son is changing. The need for breathing exercises comes from very different things. Children may experience just like in the case when they are thrilled, angry, or sick. Long breaths don't usually come from autism, so it's a positive thing his symptoms have improved. Try it, but if you're still worried, go to a pediatrician first so they can rule out anything serious.

Mere baby ne aaj subah pale yellow stool paas kiya hai sir. And Yesterday se vo sirf curd ,mother feed or pani pee raha. Kal banana bhi khaya tha chapati nai kha raha Plz tell solution Iam very worried .
Male | 1
This could be related to the liver, gallbladder, or a change in diet. The stool color might change if your baby isn't eating his snacks. To be safe, monitor your baby's stool color, and if the change persists, consult your pediatrician. Keep offering a variety of foods to find out what your baby likes to eat.

My son has had mucus in his throat for about three year
Male | 17
Your son's been having mucus for three years - that's not normal. Mucus can mean allergies, infections, irritants. He might cough, clear his throat, swallow a lot. Drink water, use a humidifier, stay away from smoke.

For an 8-year-old girl using Waxonil ear drops, place 2-3 drops in the affected ear twice daily. It's best to let her lie down with the ear facing up for a few minutes after applying. Always consult a pediatrician or an ENT specialist for proper guidance and to ensure it's safe for her condition.

I'm just concerned about my 21 month old son. He has had diarrhea today the second bowel movement I noticed a small streak of blood. He hasn't had blood anymore but he has diarrhea. He's eating normally and acting normally no fever. It doesn't have a foul smell, it smells sweet and mucusy. What's wrong with him? We have to leave tomorrow for a family trip? Should I cancel? Is he sick?
Male | 2
It's understandable to be concerned about your son's symptoms. Diarrhea with a small streak of blood could be due to a minor irritation or infection. Since he is eating and acting normally without a fever, it might not be serious, but it's best to consult a pediatrician to ensure he's okay.

Mera ek 7 years ka beti hi ussko fever or seizure sath mein ata hi
Female | 7
Your concern over your young daughter's health issue is understandable. When high body temperature strikes kids, they may experience a seizure. Kids frequently get fevers which resolve independently. Cooling measures and fever-reducing medicine like acetaminophen help immensely. Seek urgent medical assistance if seizures persist.

Baby's nature is very aggressive and angry....what should I do.???
Female | 2
If your baby acts aggressive or angry often, it may relate to hunger, fatigue, or illness. Soothe your upset baby by feeding, changing, and cuddling them. Establish calm surroundings and routines to ease their emotions. Patience and attentiveness are important.

Hi doctor. My baby gets cold often while ac is on but if I switch it off he sweats so much and never sleeps. He starts crying. I don’t know what to do . Please help. Thank you.
Male | 1
The situation with your baby seems to involve regulating body heat. With AC on, your little one feels cold. Without AC, they get sweaty. This happens because babies' sweat glands aren't fully developed yet. So their bodies struggle to control their temperature. To help, dress your baby in layers that are easy to remove. Keep the room around 68-72°F. A small fan can gently circulate air without making it too breezy or cold. These simple adjustments should help your baby stay comfortable and sleep soundly.

My 12 month baby have heavy fever suggest me drops to reduce heat and he is crying in between
Male | 1
Fevers can be caused by infections in babies. You can give your baby fever-reducing drops made for infants. Follow the dosage instructions carefully. Dress your baby lightly. Give your baby plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. If the fever doesn't go away, or if you see other worrying symptoms, seek medical help.

The child could be having difficulty speaking because he doesn’t like or has trouble chewing food. Dehydration can also be a cause. If a child is not eating well, they may get diarrhea or indigestion. Consult a pediatrician and take advice after examination.

My baby age 25 days old he suffer from cough
Male | 25
Seeing your baby's cough is distressing. Colds or mild infections often cause infant coughing. Babies may also have a runny/stuffy nose. Keep them comfortable, elevating their head for sleeping. Use a bulb syringe to clear nasal congestion. Humidifiers add moisture, easing symptoms. However, if coughing persists or worsens, consult a pediatrician promptly.

Which foods are good to eat in chickenpox period
Male | 20
During chickenpox, it's good to eat soft, bland foods like rice, bananas, oatmeal, and soups to avoid irritating mouth sores. Stay hydrated with plenty of fluids like water and coconut water. For personalized advice, consult with a pediatrician or a general physician to ensure proper care during the recovery period.

Male | 3
Kids often struggle to speak at 3 years old. But, if your child tries and doesn't improve, you should act. This may mean a speech delay. Causes could be hearing issues or development problems. I'd suggest an expert checks your child, like a speech therapist or pediatrician. They'll figure out the best way to boost speech skills.

Hlo doctor my self hameeda my baby is 21days old can i put aptamil formula milk for my baby because i have less production of milk in my breast
Male | 21day old
When the supply of breast milk is limited, you can slowly switch your baby to formula milk that has nutrients like Aptamil for your baby. Excess stress and in some cases, improper breastfeeding are the reasons why some moms have low milk production. Be calm about it. You will be able to feed your baby the needed nutrients via formula milk. Be sure to go through the instructions on the formula package.
