Should I worry if my baby lacks a soft spot on his head?
Hi, my baby was born without the soft spot on his head should I be concerned?
General Physician
Answered on 28th June '24
Babies often arrive without the soft spot called a fontanelle. This happens when head bones join early before birth. Generally, it's fine, as long as the baby grows well. Though you'll want to mention it to your pediatrician. They can check that development is on track. If any issues arise, the doctor will advise next steps.

Hi, Hi, my son received an antibiotic today, Amoxicillin 250/5ml, no dosage was given. The son is 12 years old and weighs 60 kg.
Mężczyzna | 12
At 12 years old, 60 kg, the typical dose: is 25 mg/kg daily. So, approximately 1500 mg per day for your son, divided into 12-hour intervals. However, consult your doctor for the precise dosage based on his condition. Ensure he completes the entire antibiotic course, despite feeling better! Inform your doctor if side effects occur, such as rash, diarrhea, or vomiting.

My child has slow development of brain. Not socializing and can not make friends
Male | 15
Children develop differently, some take more time than others. Your child's social struggles may indicate delayed brain growth. Delays appear as learning difficulties, atypical behavior, or communication troubles. Multiple factors contribute: genetics, birth issues, early experiences. A specialist can help with tailored therapies and support. Creating an encouraging home and promoting social activities aids progress.

My son 1.5 years old but his penis is always inside and his testicles are very small even today I pressed his testicles there were no balls, I am worried about his health please help me out thanks
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.

Sir my son is 5 and a half yrs old and our labrador has jump d on him . He has a scratch on his hand it's vaccination date has failed by 4 days .what should I do
Male | 5
Dog scratches can sometimes get infected. Here's what you need to do: look closely at the scratch. If it gets red, swollen, or pus starts oozing out, that means it's infected. Clean the scratch with soap and water. Then cover it with a bandage. Your son missed his shots by only 4 days, so he should still have some protection. But keep a close watch on that scratch. If anything seems off, don't wait around. See a doctor right away to be safe.

Mera baby eye contact nhi karta h
Male | 2
Babies often don't look into people's eyes early on. Your baby never seems to make eye contact which could mean a "delayed eye contact" issue. There might be different reasons behind this behavior. It could take more time for eye contact skills to develop fully. However, it might also potentially relate to conditions such as autism spectrum disorders. Feeling unsure is understandable - consider discussing your observations candidly with your child's pediatrician.

It sounds like your child might be experiencing night terrors, which are common in young children. They usually don't remember the episode in the morning. It's best to consult a pediatrician for a proper evaluation and advice on managing this condition.

My daughter turned 8y a day back. She was a low birth weight kid. Currently she is 16kg, 110.4cm. No endocrine or any health issues. Very active n fine. Pls suggest some supplement to increase height and weight.
Female | 8
Here are some tips for helping your child grow taller and gain weight. Make sure they get different nutrients by eating many kinds of food – not just junk! Specifically, things with protein like milk or eggs; also foods high in calcium (like broccoli) and vitamin D (like salmon). Get them moving often with things other than walking too- muscle strength is important! Enough sleep each night will help their bodies grow well too.

Male | 8
I advise you to take your child to a doctor. Based on proper evaluation and diagnosis, the doctor will be able to determine whether the problem faced is due some underlying medical issue such as food intolerance, infection or some other reason. Based on that, treatment may be suggested which may include certain dietary and lifestyle changes, medications etc.

My 4 year old has had a stomach flu since Saturday, she was vomiting up until Monday night and has had barely appetite, she is very thirsty even though she stopped vomiting and has been drinking a lot of pedialite and water, no vomiting or diarrhea since Monday night… why is she still so thirsty?????
Female | 4
When someone has stomach flu, their body loses lots of fluids. Even though vomiting ceased, her body might still be trying to regain lost fluids, causing increased thirst. Continue providing Pedialyte and water to help her rehydrate. If she doesn't improve or struggles keeping fluids down, contact a pediatrician.

I have 2months baby and she is vomiting daily. She have also common cold and sneezing
Female | 2 monts
Your baby might be experiencing some tummy irritation along with a regular cold. Vomiting may occur in babies due to the cold. The cold virus can cause the tummy to be agitated and the baby to throw up. To help, you must make sure your baby is drinking enough fluids, preferably in small doses of milk or formula. Monitor their symptoms and if you have any concerns, reach out to a pediatrician.

Good morning sir/madam Penta vallent vaccine by mistake injected hand 0.01 ml in my baby any problem please tell me
Female | 31
It's okay if a small amount of the five-dose vaccine was given to your baby’s hand by mistake. The area may become red, swollen, or painful where the injection was made – this should disappear by itself. Keep an eye on it and if there are any strange changes or if you are worried at all contact a pediatrician.

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.

I have 19 months baby boy right hand pimples small full hand
Male | 2
Your 19-month-old son might have something that looks like tiny pimples on his or her right hand. This is likely because of a skin condition known as eczema, which is quite common among children. Common symptoms include redness, itching, and small bumps. Providing the skin with baby lotion and avoiding harsh soaps are some of the ways to keep the skin moisturized. If the problems persist or get worse, it is recommended to visit a pediatrician.

My daughter is 2 years old. she has cough and cold amd mild fever and i give her allegra and cherry cough both 3.5 ml and 2.5ml and mow I realise these both for cough and cold then i am worried now what to do
Female | 2
Cough, cold, and mild fever can be uncomfortable, especially for children. The common cold and flu are two main causes of cough and cold in kids. Both Allegra and cherry cough syrup can help treat these symptoms. However, it’s best to give only one medication that addresses the needed symptoms, which reduces the amount of medicine given to the child. Make sure she gets plenty of rest, drinks lots of fluids, and consider using a humidifier in her room to help relieve congestion. If her temperature doesn’t go down or if she seems to be in pain, it’s better to consult a pediatrician for proper advice.

Female | 1
Your baby may be experiencing a mild allergic reaction. This can be caused by contact with plants, animals, or certain foods. The red patches could show that a response is taking place within her body. You should apply a light moisturizing lotion to keep her skin moist. Ensure that you protect her from anything she might be allergic to. Should the rash continue or become worse, it is advisable to contact a pediatrician for more assistance.

3 year old increased thirst feeling really tired ketone of 4mmol in urine but normal blood sugars
Male | 3
If your kid drinks much more water; fatigue overwhelms them. Significant ketones appear in their urine, despite normal blood sugar. Heightened ketones aren't ideal; it could indicate diabetes. The disease causes thirst and exhaustion. Ensure your child stays hydrated. Consult a doctor about potential diabetes.
