Can my 8-month-old with brain damage develop neck balance?
Hi am Claire 25 years I gave birth to a baby boy but with brain damage.He is 8months now and he can sit coz he can’t balance his neck
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
This means that the child could have low muscle tone i.e. hypotonia which could be an indication of brain damage. Other examples include delays in learning new tactics and staying strong like rolling and crawling. It's crucial to get a pediatrician's advice to get the optimal treatment

These symptoms can be pretty rough for a kid her age. There are a few possible reasons: stress, not enough sleep, or something in her diet. My advice is to take her to see a pediatric neurologist for the headaches, plus a counselor. Getting help from both might be useful.

My son 7months old, he s getting cold often for past four months, before three months we kept nebulizer for him. After medicines he s getting cured but after a week again he s getting cold may I know wats the reason and how can I prevent him
Male | 7 months
Colds are quite common in infants as their immune systems develop. A runny or stuffy nose is the primary symptom. The recurrence stems from his immature immunity against germs. To prevent future colds, maintain a hygienic environment, practice frequent handwashing, and limit exposure to ill individuals. Nutritious dietary intake and adequate rest can bolster his immunity. However, if the cold persists or concerning symptoms arise, consult a pediatrician.

My baby was born on 15 May 2024 but his oxygen level was very low and he did not even cry. Now he is on ventilator support. It has been 5 days. Can you tell us whether the health of the baby will improve and what will happen next? What problems will the baby face? And how many days will it take for the baby to become mature?
Male | New born baby
Low levels of oxygen at birth can cause a variety of problems. Ventilation support will be necessary to help the infant breathe. It’s a difficult time but with good care the baby’s condition should improve. There might be complications such as lung issues or delays in development. The baby will need more time to grow and mature than usual – usually about 40 weeks from when they were due for delivery.

Female | 8
Experiencing early puberty can be tricky for an 8.5-year-old girl. It could stem from genetics, weight issues, or medical problems. Watch for signs like pubic or underarm hair growth, body odor changes, or sudden height spurts. These indicate puberty onset. Talk to your pediatrician to understand what's happening inside her body. They'll run tests to identify the cause and recommend the best care approach.

From and up to what age is chickenpox healthy for children?
Female | 25
Chickenpox is generally more common in children and is often considered a childhood disease. It's most commonly seen in children aged 1 to 12 years. In many cases, getting chickenpox during childhood leads to immunity, meaning that a person is less likely to get it again later in life. However, chickenpox can affect individuals of any age, including adults.

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.

Hello doctor my 9month old baby got fever. I gave him headbath after that he got fever why? No other symptoms. He is active normal
Male | 0
Babies sometimes experience a mild temperature increase after a headbath. This is normal, caused by their body cooling down slightly. If your baby seems active and well otherwise, there's typically no cause for concern. However, ensure they drink enough fluids and dress them warmly. Consult a pediatrician if the fever continues or worsens.

My 1 year 2 months baby refuse milk and food.. So what to do?
Male | 1year 2 month
Kids often show tantrums and refuse to eat at such times. It could simply be due to teething, illness, or just a temporary phase. Therefore, do not worry, keep changing their foods and wait. You should consult a pediatrician if the child has been refusing to drink milk or eat for more than one or two days.

How do I help my obese child
Female | 12
Being overweight is tough. Too much weight causes diabetes and heart issues. It comes from bad food, no exercise. Help them by adding fruits, and veggies to meals and daily play.

So I have a 4 month old baby so he has bleeding the brain would it be possible that when my 3 daughters where jumping on my bed and my 4 month old baby got his head stuck between the wall and bed when they started bouncing that the bed and the wall would make his brain start bleeding ??
Male | 4 months
It is unlikely that the bed and wall incident alone caused your baby's brain to bleed, but it is important to seek medical advice immediately. Brain bleeding in infants can have serious causes. Please consult a pediatric neurologist to understand the situation and get proper care for your baby.

Can we take cetrizine and amydramine at same time My daughter had those both on time . She is 6years old
Female | 6
Cetrizine treats allergies. Amitriptyline helps with conditions like depression. Kids shouldn't take them together though. The mix could make them feel sleepy, confused, and have a fast heartbeat. Talk to your doctor instead of mixing these medicines for your daughter.

My baby does not eat properly and is always crying. His weight is -10 kg. LFT Test is done. SGOT -49.5. u/l,SGPT-24.6 u/l, Serum Alkaline Phosphate -684.6 u/l.
Male | 1
The weight reading as negative may be a sign of a measurement error. The outcome of the LFT test suggests that some of the liver enzyme concentrations are not within the normal range, which might be due to several reasons like infections or liver problems. You should consult a pediatrician.

My child vomited 3 times last night, today he refuses food, he is indisposed, he doesn't want anything
Male | 3
Your kid seems to be not epic at all. If a child throws up multiple times and then says he does not want to eat, it could be possible that his tummy is upset. This can be many things such as a tummy bug or food intolerance. The best thing you can do is keep him hydrated with small sips of water and let his tummy rest by avoiding food for a bit. You should take him to a pediatrician.

7 years kids having fever from last 8 hours, now half body is hot amd half ia chilled,
Female | 7
A fever means the body battles an infection. Kids' bodies can feel hot, then cold as it regulates temperature. Give your child fluids, rest, and fever-reducing medicine like acetaminophen if required. If the fever persists over two days or other worrying symptoms arise, consult a pediatrician promptly.

My son se 8 year old he has 3 tablets of Imodium know he was breathing very heavyly and some time he was perfectly alright plz help me
Male | 8
This can be caused by the fact that Imodium may slow down your son's metabolic function. When he is breathing heavily, he is essentially trying to increase the oxygen flow to his body. Please do not give him extra Imodium. Likewise, keep an eye on him to see if he goes back to breathing normally again. If he keeps on having breathing issues, it is necessary to visit 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.

4 year old took 15ml of zarbees cough medicine. Is there a chance of overdose
Male | 4
Medicine can hurt if not taken properly. Taking too much Zarbee's cough syrup is bad for little kids. If a 4-year-old drinks 15ml, it's more than safe. Overdosing causes sick feeling, throwing up, feeling sleepy, or breathing trouble. Call poison control or visit hospital quickly for help.
