An enlarged liver and spleen, coupled with poor weight gain and tuberculosis, presents a challenging situation. The symptoms you described are indeed worrying. Organ enlargement can stem from infectious diseases like tuberculosis. It's crucial to adhere to your doctor's guidance for appropriate treatment and close monitoring, ensuring your child's recovery and well-being.

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.

6 days old baby girl having loose motion 3 times a day can we give sporlac banana flavour powder
Female | 6 days e
Sometimes, babies pass loose stools often. Don't worry, this happens. If your newborn girl has diarrhea thrice daily, an infection or diet change could cause it. Sporlac banana powder may help. It restores good tummy bacteria, and firms up motions. Keep her hydrated - offer breast milk or small water sips frequently. Don't give any other medicine without a doctor's advice. But if diarrhea worsens or continues, see a pediatrician.

A child of 2 and half years old is suffering with fever from last night we tried tylenol but fever is not lowering what to do next
Male | 2
When your child has a fever, it can cause worry. But staying calm is key. Most fevers in kids happen due to infections. If Tylenol fails to reduce the fever, give a lukewarm bath and drink lots of fluids to stay hydrated. Dress them in light, comfortable clothes. However, if the fever persists, you should contact a pediatrician.

My child I caughing and also her palm is white
Female | 9
This arises when the body lacks sufficient oxygen. Coughing often signals infections or allergic reactions. Meanwhile, pale palms suggest low red blood cell count. Ensure your child breathes comfortably and remains calm. However, it's advisable to consult a pediatrician for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment promptly.

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.

I'm just concerned about my 21 month old son. He has had diarrhea today the second bowel movement I noticed a small streak of blood. He hasn't had blood anymore but he has diarrhea. He's eating normally and acting normally no fever. It doesn't have a foul smell, it smells sweet and mucusy. What's wrong with him? We have to leave tomorrow for a family trip? Should I cancel? Is he sick?
Male | 2
It's understandable to be concerned about your son's symptoms. Diarrhea with a small streak of blood could be due to a minor irritation or infection. Since he is eating and acting normally without a fever, it might not be serious, but it's best to consult a pediatrician to ensure he's okay.

Male | 7
It seems he may have a serious condition causing the fever and weakness. The glucose given by the doctor was likely to provide energy. Not eating for 7 days is quite concerning. It's important to take him back to the doctor for further evaluation and treatment. Meanwhile, ensure he stays hydrated and gets plenty of rest.

Hi! I just started wetting the bed two nights in a row. My friend gave me one of his kids Huggies 4t-5t Pull Ups to try. I tried one on and it fit perfect actually since I am small for my age. I woke up wet today. I also have tried out a pacifier that they gave me for better sleep for a few nights.
Male | 26
Bedwetting as an adult can be due to various reasons like stress, urinary tract infections, or other medical conditions. It's important to see a urologist to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. Using pull-ups or pacifiers may help in the short term, but consulting a specialist is the best step for a long-term solution.

Migraines in kids can result from missing meals, fatigue, or excessive screen usage. Ensuring proper nutrition, adequate rest, and limited screen time may help alleviate his discomfort. However, if the headaches persist, consulting your child's pediatrician would be wise.

Mera bacha kuch nhi kha rha usko loose motion ho rhe h and uska weight 5kg hi h abhi tak wo 18 months complete kr chuke h please kuch btaye
Female | 18 months
Kids have rough days sometimes. Trouble using the bathroom leaves them drained. They can't keep food down well. Low weight follows. But don't worry yet. Some simple causes likely explain loose bowel movements. Maybe a minor infection. Could be food isn't agreeing with them lately. New diet changes can do that. When weight drops and hunger disappears, it's wise to get expert help. A doctor's visit offers the right solution. Give small water sips often to avoid dehydration. Try easy snacks like rice, bananas, and toast. Simple foods are gentle. Get checked out and follow a pediatrician's advice.

Is it just a viral or periodic fever syndrome because every time pattern and time is same
Female | 2
Based on your description, your daughter may have recurrent fever syndrome. This condition involves frequent episodes of high body temperature occurring in a regular pattern. It can result from various causes, such as infections, inflammation, or genetic factors. Since she also has a sore throat, a viral infection is likely the cause. Ensure she gets plenty of rest, drinks a lot of water, and takes fever-reducing medication if she has a fever. Make an appointment with a pediatrician as soon as possible and get her checked regularly.

My 4 year baby is urinating pink colour urine since morning Although there is no pain or itching. Is it due to food she had consumed last night pink colour fringes, pink strawberry pastry or is it something concerning?
Female | 4
The kind of pink pee that a child could have could be caused by things like eating too many pink strawberries or consuming food with dyes. Nonetheless, if your baby is not suffering from pain or itching, it is most likely nothing serious. Suggest your child drink more water to eliminate any objects that may be coloring their urine. If the pink doesn't go away, or if any other symptoms come up, it's wise to consult a pediatrician.

Male | 2
I get why you're worried as a parent here. Putting things besides ear drops in the ear isn't good. Watch for signs like pain, redness, irritation, or hearing issues. If your child has any of those, take them to the doctor to get checked and treated right.

Mujhe mumps hua tha 23 din ho gaye par halka halka dard abhi bhi hai kaan k neeche or jeebh bilkul sukhi silukhi rahti he
Female | 40
Mumps can leave discomfort behind. It causes a viral infection, making salivary glands swell. This leads to ear and mouth pain, dryness. Some symptoms may linger after the infection ends. Stay hydrated: drink plenty of water. Avoid acidic, spicy foods – they could irritate. Get lots of rest. If pain persists or worsens, see a doctor.

Female | 9
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.
