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.

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.

Male | 6
It is common for babies to cry, but if your 6-month-old is crying constantly, it could be due to colic, hunger, or discomfort. I suggest visiting a pediatrician to get a proper check-up and understand the exact reason.

My Daughter is 2 years 47 days old, she has been struggling with stool passing from last one year. At time she can pass it without any struggle but at times she could not. We have consulted multiple doctors but couldn't get a permanent solution. Everytime we visit a new doctor she starts passing her stool easily for next one or two weeks, but after two weeks the prescribed medications from the doctor stops working and we had to go for another doctor or we have to use Suppositories. We have been struggling with this issue from almost a year and have been using Suppositories or visiting different doctor. Please suggest how this could be fixed, also let us know if this is a serious issue. Will this get fixed with passage of time as my daughter reaches the age of 4 or 5 years. Thank you

Your daughter seems to be going through a challenging phase where she sometimes struggles with passing stool. There could have been various reasons for this like diet, less water intake, or maybe some muscle problems. It is a good thing that you have been taking doctors' advice; however, it is essential to detect the root cause of the problem. You can try giving her fiber-rich foods, like fruits, and veggies, to her and ensure she drinks enough water. Keep in touch with your pediatrician to find the best way to take care of your daughter's discomfort.

Dear sir baby ko cough and cold hai sath me fever aa rha hai 3-4- days se
Male | 6
Greetings, it says your baby has a cough, cold, and fever. This might happen if they catch a virus. They may have the aforementioned things, or it could likely be a matter of your noticing them sneezing, runny nose, and one who feels hotter than usual. It's regularly done the way that your baby is lying hydrated and that is the flu-correct word. You might apply humidified air and offer them warm fluids. In the case when the symptoms are getting worse, it is better to consult a pediatrician.

I have a 6 years old boy, who does not clearly speak. Sometimes he says words correctly but not in full sentences. Is this speech delay or a medical condition
Male | 6
It's common for some children to experience speech delays. However, since your son is 6 years old and still struggles with speaking in full sentences, it is best to consult a pediatric speech therapist or a pediatrician. They can evaluate his condition and recommend appropriate therapies or treatments if needed.

My 3nd half years son is passing urine frequently
Male | 3
If he is drinking water, it's normal. But if he's not drinking more water, yet he's still peeing a lot then it might be due to a urinary tract infection. This can lead to pain and a constant need to urinate. Ensure that he's getting enough water and try to take him to a pediatrician for examination.

Low blood sugar in my 22 day new born child what treatment for hypoglycemia
Male | 22 day
What causes concern is a newborn with hypoglycemia, which means low blood sugar levels. Jitters, sweating, feeding difficulties - these symptoms indicate this condition. Not getting enough milk often contributes to this issue. To tackle it, ensure the baby receives sufficient milk to maintain proper sugar levels. Closely collaborate with pediatrician for monitoring and treatment approaches.

My newborn has crp level of 39 .After 2 days of antibiotics it decreased to 18. But after another 4 days no changes .it remains 18 only. Is this something to worry about or are Antibiotics are not working anymore
Female | 5 days
Having a CRP level of 18 when a baby is born could mean an infection exists. The antibiotics helped lower it initially, that's good. But if it stays unchanged after more days, we may need to check if the antibiotics are still working properly. Contact your pediatrician if the baby develops fever, gets fussy, struggles with feeding, or has breathing issues. They can guide you on what to do next.

We are on holiday in egypt and my 1 year old came down with a temperature of 38.5 along with a cough, snotty nose and she's sleeping alot. Her temp started last night and dropped during the day today but has gone back up tonight to 38. What should I do? When should I seek medical help?
Female | 1
A mild fever can be common in young children, often indicating a viral infection. Ensure she stays hydrated and comfortable. You may use acetaminophen or ibuprofen, following the appropriate dosage for her age, to help reduce fever and ease discomfort. If her fever persists beyond three days or worsens, or if she shows signs of difficulty breathing, extreme lethargy, or dehydration, please seek medical attention promptly. In a foreign country, it's always wise to consult a local pediatrician if you're uncertain.

My 7 years daughter has fever since 3 days now it is not and she has inside fever and she has rashes on her body 4/ 5 place and she has sore throat. She is coughing and she has little bit Headache also. Her urine is slightly yellow.
Female | 7
Your daughter's fever, rash, throat pain, cough, and headache suggest a viral illness, possibly influenza. Dehydration causes yellow urine. Ensure she consumes ample fluids and rests well. Administer fever-reducing medicines if necessary. However, seek medical evaluation if symptoms worsen or don't improve, as viruses can sometimes lead to complications.

My daughter is 12.5 years old and 165 cm tall. She already has got her period last year when she was 11. Father is 5 feet 8 inch and mother s height is 5 feet 2 inches. I'm worried if she has stopped growing. Can she get few more inches. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much.
Female | 12
Girls her age, 12.5, often keep on growing for some more years. Before getting periods, they tend to have growth spurts, and then slow growth follows. Since your girl had her period at 11, there might be more growing left. Things like her genes, eating well, and being healthy affect growth. Keep encouraging healthy foods, enough sleep, and exercise for her. If worried, chatting with her doctor could help.

Fever 100.03 give dolo Cyrup before one hour
Male | 1
Your temperature being slightly high at 100.03°F indicates a fever. An infection, perhaps the flu or a cold, could cause this elevated body heat. To alleviate the symptoms, consider taking dolo syrup. This medication can reduce fever and improve your overall feeling. However, it's crucial to rest adequately, maintain proper hydration by drinking ample fluids, and prioritize comfort during this time. If the fever persists or additional concerning symptoms arise, please visit a pediatrician.

Male | 6
It sounds like your child has been experiencing a series of distressing symptoms, including skin rashes, abdominal pain, and general discomfort. These could be linked to allergies, infections, or gastrointestinal issues. The scrotum pain and redness in the eyes may suggest inflammation or irritation, possibly from an allergic reaction. It's essential to maintain hydration and follow medical advice on medications. Observing closely for any changes and ensuring a suitable environment can help. If symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a pediatrician for a thorough evaluation and tailored treatment.

Female | 4
Your daughter's low sugar levels are concerning. Kids rarely have low blood sugar without diabetes. Symptoms like tiredness, dizziness, shakiness, or unconsciousness occur. Not eating enough or having another condition causes it. Doctors running tests is wise. Meanwhile, regular meals and snacks stabilize sugar levels.

My baby is 48 days old but his umbilical cord is not cure yet ,there is yellow sticky fluid is formed
Male | 48days
The umbilical cord falling off entirely can take time, and this is normal. It's vital to keep it dry and clean. Normally, the yellow sticky liquid you see is a sign that the wound is healing. Use some warm water and a cotton ball to gently clean the area. If it looks red and swollen or has a bad smell, you should consult a doctor. Yet, you should take the necessary precautions and keep the area clean and dry.

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 2 years old kid having heavy fever, cough and cold, fever is high
Male | 2
Your child feels unwell, probably due to germs. A fever means their body battles an infection. An illness involves a cough, runny nose and fever. Ensure your child hydrates well and sleeps adequately. Medication, like acetaminophen, can reduce a fever. Should symptoms persist or worsen considerably, consult a pediatrician promptly for professional medical advice.
