Gas is a common occurrence in babies and can make them quite irritable. When eating, they may swallow air or break down certain nutrients found in breast milk, causing it. To release trapped air more frequently during feeding, try burping your baby often. Additionally, tender tummy massages could also provide relief from gas. If you can, stick with breastfeeding since it’s the best for your baby’s well-being; however, you might want to consider speaking to a pediatrician for further advice.

Sir a 8 month old little boy superior labilial frenkum break
Male | 8 month
Labial frenulum is the piece of tissue between the lips and the gums which is a little bit of skin. The symptoms can be pain and swelling. If there is too much pressure on it, this can occur. The dentist or the ENT doctor should check the baby. They can allow the skin to recover by itself or recommend a minor surgical procedure to assist in proper healing.

Son 13 year old vomiting pain on stomach and headache
Male | 13
The signs of a stomach bug can start with vomiting. Stomach pain and headache are also two other possible symptoms. Often, these bugs are self-limiting and go by themselves, for the time being, ensure he drinks as much as possible to avoid dehydration, and feed him suitable light foods. Should he not feel any better in several days, it's the best option to see a gastroenterologist.

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.

My 22 Months old baby boy have minor blood spot in potty. Is this harmfull?
Male | 22 Months
This can happen for a few things. He might have pooped hard and that caused some very small cuts. Or he could have a minor sickness. Make sure he drinks lots of water. Give him food with lots of fiber like apples and carrots. If the blood spots do not go away soon, or if he acts sick, take him to see a pediatrician.

Some people like you may wet the bed sometimes. Reasons could be sleeping deeply, having a small bladder, or feeling stressed. You can try things to stop it happening. Don't have drinks with caffeine before bed. Make sure you go to the bathroom right before sleeping. Use waterproof sheets on your bed too. It's okay, you don't need to feel embarrassed. Talk about it with a doctor. With some simple changes and time, the bed-wetting can get better.

Male | 3
Catching a cold is likely if exposed to someone who's sick. Colds come from viruses - tiny germs. Symptoms may include coughing, sneezing, runny nose, fever sometimes. To help your son recover, ensure he rests well, drinks plenty of fluids, and takes over-the-counter medicine if required.

Baby seems like he has been constipated
Male | 2 month
Constipation takes place when someone struggles passing bowel movements. Babies might seem irritable, avoid pooping regularly, or produce firm stools. This occurs due to inadequate hydration, dietary fiber, or fruits and vegetables. Ensuring your child consumes sufficient fluids and fiber-rich foods can alleviate discomfort. However, if the issue persists, consulting a pediatrician is advisable.

Male | 1.5
If you're concerned about your 1.5 year old son's genital development, it's essential to consult a pediatrician or pediatric urologist for an evaluation. Small or retracting testicles may be normal in some cases, but it's crucial to rule out conditions like undescended testicles or hernias.

Female | 0
Babies cry frequently, notably at nighttime. Perhaps your little one suffers from colic. While its precise root remains unidentified, colic is widespread and typically resolves independently by 4 months. To comfort your infant, consider gentle rocking motions, calming white noise, or a warm pre-bedtime bath.

Zifi 200 is an antibiotic. It treats bacterial infections. For a 23 kg child, take 200 mg twice daily. Finish all doses, even if feeling better. That kills all germs properly. Give Zifi 200 with food. It may prevent stomach issues.

I AM YEAR OLD GIRL. MY WEIGHT IS 17.9 KG AND MY HEIGHT IS 121 CM. MY HEIGHT AND WEIGHT NOT GROWING WELL AS WELL AS I DO NOT HAVE SO MUCH HUNGRY. I FEEL TO SLEEPY AT 8 P.M EVERYDAY SO I CAN NOT CONTINUE MY STUDY AT NIGHT.
Female | 9
My concern is coming from the fact that you get tired quite early, say at 8 p.m., have no appetite at all, and seem to have stopped adding weight and becoming taller. These signs could be caused by things like lack of proper nutrients or a sickness. Therefore, you should share this information with a responsible grown-up – maybe a family member or your teacher – so that they assist you in getting medical attention. A doctor will examine you to find out what is wrong and give you the necessary treatment.

Your daughter might be struggling with her height. Missing out on food and going to sleep early could be bad for her health. Kids need to eat well for growth. She could be lacking certain nutrients or having a sleeping pattern that affects how much she eats. You should take her to see a pediatrician who will advise you on proper feeding and healthy practices that help in growing up.

A speech delay in autism means a child may have problems talking or expressing their thoughts. This can be a source of frustration for them.

My son accidentally swallows a bipilac tablet
Male | 13
If your little boy has swallowed a Bipilac tablet by mistake, don't panic. The most frequent symptoms of ingestion are upset stomach and perhaps some vomiting or diarrhea. The reason for this is that the stomach doesn’t like the pill. To make him feel better, make sure he drinks plenty of water and keep an eye on him constantly. It’s important to observe any strange behavior in your child and if there is any, call your local poison control centre at once.

Fevers in kids are typically caused by infections such as colds or the flu. Below are some possible symptoms that may also occur such as chills, headache, and body aches. To help her feel better, make sure she drinks plenty of fluids and gets lots of rest, and you can give her children acetaminophen or ibuprofen to reduce the fever. However, it is vital to monitor her condition, and if the fever persists or other symptoms appear, it is better to consult a pediatrician.

I'm hive positive when I was pregnant with my daughter she is 18 years old now but she don't know about it is she infected?
Female | 38
Being HIV positive is a major concern, yet it doesn't necessarily mean transmission to your daughter. Daily activities like sharing meals or embracing do not spread HIV. The virus can only transmit via blood, sexual relations, or during childbirth. Getting your daughter tested for HIV will provide certainty. If positive, treatments exist to maintain her health. There's no need for excessive worry; simply encourage her to undergo testing.

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.
