Male | 9 months
This condition is most likely caused by intestinal worms. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, vomiting, and weight loss. To help, you can get deworming medication for your son. Visit a pharmacist or your pediatrician for a suitable medication. Be sure to follow the dosage instructions exactly.

Recurrent fever could be many reasons! It may, however, be the flu, which may not be the case here. It is very essential to get your doctor on board to determine the factor that is behind the condition. Your pediatrician might recommend tests to find the most appropriate treatment.

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
Female | 2 years 47 days
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.

Female | 2
It looks like your little one may have food refusal, struggling to take anything but breast milk. This could stem from sensory sensitivity, teething pain, or pickiness. You can try offering soft, varied eats in bite-sized portions throughout the day. If the troubles persist, consult with your pediatrician for tips.

My 14 month old son developed a red nipple last Saturday. Since then the redness has gone down. However still a noticable difference from the other nipple. It is also going inverted and coming back out. He was not born with inverted nipples.
Male | 14 month
It is great that differences have been spotted in your son's nipple. This could be due to moments of redness and inversions whenever irritations or infections set in. It is quite necessary to stick around. If the condition persists or grows more severe, the best alternative would be to seek further evaluation and advice from a pediatrician.

My baby cries a lot to sleep for every nap o try to put him to sleep
Male | 0
It's hard when babies cry a lot during sleep time. They might be super tired or have trouble settling down. Sometimes gas pains or sore gums from teething can also cause fussiness. A calming routine helps. Maybe give them a warm bath, read a book, sing lullabies. Make sure their room is cozy, dark, and quiet too. If crying won't stop, ask the doctor just in case.

When we ask him to tell the word again, he will try but some time having difficulties and he stop saying and other time he tried and some how he is saying with wrong word like he will say mammy to ammy and bappi to appi, Not sure of the reason for this sudden change. Any advice will be helpful. Thank you.

The reasons may be varied. sometimes some parts of the brain can be affected as a result of shuttle ischemic attack (which is not uncommon in children) or maybe due to some metabolic cause that is affecting speech related to the brain. MRI BRAIN WITH MRI Spectroscopy should be done along with detailed physical &neurological examination of the child.Also, look for any worsening of other developmental domains for example difficulties in standing or in gripping something. You can also consult the Pediatricians for further information.

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.

Can I give atarax 2mg/ml syrup to my 17 months old baby for skin allergy with a dosage of 2.5ml twice a day
Male | 17 months
Reddish spots, itchy feelings, and bumpy rashes can show up on baby's skin from allergies. Causes could be bug bites or foods their body doesn't like. Doctors sometimes give Atarax syrup with 2mg medicine per ml to help make those allergy signs go away. For babies around 17 months old, a common dose is 2.5ml twice each day. But you should always follow exactly what the doctor says for treating your little one's skin allergy issue best.

Female | 3
Your girl had seizures caused by fever - febrile convulsions. These simple seizures often last under 15 minutes, don't recur frequently in kids. Family history is common. Fever spikes rapidly increase body temperature, triggering convulsions. Monitor her temperature closely. Follow up with her doctor for proper care.

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.

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.

My kid is 3yrs old still not talking
Female | 3
Some children take time to develop speaking skills. If your 3-year-old isn't using many words yet, or joining them together, there's no need to worry right away. However, it's wise to have their hearing checked. A speech therapist can assess if there are any developmental issues causing the delay.

For a 12-year-old boy, the normal fasting blood sugar level is typically between 70 and 100 mg/dL. After eating, it should be less than 140 mg/dL. It's always best to consult a pediatric endocrinologist for personalized advice and accurate diagnosis.

Hi sir/maam My son of age 7 years is having breathing problem from childhood. We have tried with several doctors but no use. During sleep time he will breathe with mouth. Esnophil count also 820 is there. Not getting what to do for him
Male | 7
He's breathing through his mouth while sleeping. His eosinophil count is also high. These can point to asthma or allergies. Kids with these conditions often struggle to breathe well. Working closely with a pulmonologist is key. They'll figure out the right meds or strategies to manage allergies.
