Answered on 2nd July '24

I understand your concern about your son's health. Since he has been suffering from typhoid fever for 15 days and is not improving despite medication, it's advisable to follow your doctor's advice for hospital admission. Hospitalization will ensure he receives proper monitoring, intravenous fluids, and medications to fight the infection effectively. Please continue to follow the guidance of the pediatrician or the specialist managing his case.

My son drink 30ml of Nyquil instead of 15ml. He is 8yr old. weight 44lb and 4ft height.

Male | 8

Medicine­ is crucial but you must be extreme­ly careful with doses. If your child takes too much, it can make­ them sick. Your son drank double the re­commended Nyquil amount. He will like­ly feel drowsy, dizzy, and have an upse­t stomach or headache. The ove­rdose happened be­cause the medicine­ was too strong for his body size. Give him water right away. Watch him care­fully for other symptoms. If he see­ms unwell, don't hesitate to ge­t medical help.

Male | 4

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. Continue with speech therapy as it can develop communication skills. On the other hand, visual aids and repeating routines can help her become clear about him.

My one month daughter struggles with constipation and reflux and but constantly groans and moans all the time. Even when she's sleeping she constantly brings her feet up and moves around. She also cries a lot like she's in a lot of discomfort. Her moaning is persistent and if she goes quiet she squeaks really loud like she's struggling to breath.

Female | 1 month

Is your daughter breast fed or top fed? And what do you exactly mean when you say she is constipated? Mild reflux is common at this age and if she is gaining weight properly then it is not worrisome. Do proper burping after each feed. If symptoms persist, it is advisable to get her examined by pediatrician.

My son 9 yrs old. He does competitive swimming. In last Feb, after xray doctor has told that he has 50% enlargement of adenoid. He allowed to do swimming. Child suffer cold almost once every month. Today also we checked thru endoscopy. It is still 50% as per doctor. Should we continue swimming or we need to stop..we need second opinion

Male | 9

Sometimes having enlarged adenoids can make them more susceptible to cold. Perhaps swimming is a factor that irritates his adenoids. It is important to ensure his health is not sacrificed for his swimming hobby. I suggest giving a short break to him swimming and observing whether his adenoids get better. This might help him get less affected by cold.

My toddler has severe food allergies. How can I ensure he gets a balanced diet while avoiding allergens, and what are some safe, nutritious alternatives?

Female | 33

A diet that is complete and free from allergens is essential. Milk, eggs, soy, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish are the most commonly found allergens. It is important to search for other alternatives that are safe and nutritious, such as fruit, vegetables, rice, quinoa, beans, and meats. A dietitian can support you in developing a customized meal plan to make sure your child gets all the necessary nutrients. It is also necessary to monitor the symptoms of rashes, stomachache, vomiting, and shortness of breath that might appear after consuming food. If you recognize any of these symptoms, the advice is to stop feeding them that food and to contact an allergist for further testing and evaluation.

Male | 5

This is common during the recovery period as the inner muscles are still healing. Eating soft, easy-to-digest foods can help. In most cases, surgery is needed. Support his recovery with a bland diet while his body heals.

Strange bruises show up on child's face out of the blue

Male | Musa

It's normal for kids to wake up with some facial bruises & not even remember how they got there. Most of the time it's because they bumped into something or got hurt while playing. But also, like, if your child is on certain meds or has certain health problems, bruises are more likely. If they don't go away or you get other signs of something weird going on in the child's body seek medical attention from a physician.

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.

Female | 2

Rashes on an infant's body may result from various factors - allergie­s, infections, or skin irritants. The itching and crying could indicate discomfort. To provide­ relief, use ge­ntle products without fragrances, kee­ping the skin clean and dry. Howeve­r, if these measure­s prove ineffective­, it's advisable to seek me­dical advice for accurate diagnosis and appropriate tre­atment.
