Hi. My son has dry cough. In morning I gave him dry syrup by mistake which was made 1 month ago. And its expiry date is 2024.is there any side effects of this?

If your child swallowed dry syrup prepared last month, yet unexpired, it's typically harmless. Expired medications might gradually diminish efficacy but rarely induce illness. Unless your son exhibits nausea, vomiting, rash, or other abnormal symptoms, he'll likely remain unaffected. Monitor him and consult a pediatrician promptly if any concerning signs arise.

Male | 2
If your 2-year-old has ingested Savlon, it's important to seek immediate medical attention. Do not try to induce vomiting or give any food or drink until you consult a pediatrician or visit the nearest emergency room.

Bacche ko us jagh par kaffi dard hota h or bo kaise teekh hoga
Male | 2 month
It's common to see swelling in the place where a baby gets a vaccine. Since ice packs bring down swelling and diminish the pain, they are advantageous. Long-time application of the ice pack might have resulted in redness. It's all right. However, apply it for a few minutes only next time. It usually happens on its own. If your baby is in a lot of pain, you can give them infant pain relief.

Male | 13
It sounds like your son may have a sleep disorder or excessive daytime sleepiness. I recommend visiting a pediatric neurologist or a sleep specialist. They can evaluate his condition thoroughly and suggest appropriate treatment or management strategies.

Pani ki kami kasy door krn 4 month old baby ha diahrea ho raha
Female | 4 month
Having a baby with diarrhea is concerning. Watery stools can quickly dehydrate infants. You must provide extra breast milk or formula. Stay away from sugary beverages. Diarrhea often stems from infections, food sensitivities, or overfeeding. Persistent diarrhea lasting over 24 hours or bloody stools require medical attention. Don't hesitate to reach out to your pediatrician if symptoms worsen or fail to improve.

How can i relieve my baby from colic pain and gas. I give him colimex drops but are of no use.
Male | 2.5 months
Babies can get colic and gas. Colic is when babies cry intensely. Gas makes babies uncomfortable. It happens when they swallow air while feeding. Or, they have a sensitive tummy. Try massaging their stomach gently. Burp them frequently during feedings too. Keep their surroundings quiet and calm. Don't overfeed them quickly. Keep them upright after feedings. Warm baths and gentle rocking might help soothe them too. With these tips, your baby should feel better soon.

My 3nd half years son is passing urine frequently
Male | 3
If he is drinking water, it's normal. But if he's not drinking more water, yet he's still peeing a lot then it might be due to a urinary tract infection. This can lead to pain and a constant need to urinate. Ensure that he's getting enough water and try to take him to a pediatrician for examination.

Male | 7
Your kid has a stubborn fever despite paracetamol. Don't worry, fevers aren't always due to colds or flu. But it's wise to see the doctor and rule out other causes. Meanwhile, keep them cool with lukewarm sponge baths. And ensure they drink lots of fluids to stay hydrated. These simple steps can provide relief until the fever breaks.

My baby is having watery poop from 3 days and today I noticed blood in her poop with muscu 4 5 times
Female | 5 months baby girl
Watery poop with blood may be a symptom of an infection or food intolerance. It is crucial to ensure that your baby gets enough fluids. Let her drink lots of fluids like water or breast milk. The best thing to do for the time being is to stay away from dairy products. If the symptoms persist, or if you come across any other alarming signs, please consult a pediatrician immediately.

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.

9 year old kid having non stop cough and running nose fever is settled after 5 days of Antibiotics, now there is only whooping cough and running nose
Female | 9
A persistent cough and runny nose could indicate whooping cough, especially if your baby recently had a fever and took antibiotics. Whooping cough is a contagious respiratory infection that causes severe coughing fits. Make sure your child rests, drinks plenty of water, and uses a cool-mist humidifier to ease the cough. Monitor their condition and contact their pediatrician if you have further concerns.

My baby is 48 days old but his umbilical cord is not cure yet ,there is yellow sticky fluid is formed
Male | 48days
The umbilical cord falling off entirely can take time, and this is normal. It's vital to keep it dry and clean. Normally, the yellow sticky liquid you see is a sign that the wound is healing. Use some warm water and a cotton ball to gently clean the area. If it looks red and swollen or has a bad smell, you should consult a doctor. Yet, you should take the necessary precautions and keep the area clean and dry.

My daughter laughs all day and can't concentrate
Female | 17
Lots of laughter can indicate other problems. Kids may laugh excessively to hide stress or anxiety. Speak candidly with your daughter about her feelings. You may need counseling to manage emotions better. Early intervention helps kids feel better faster. Note laughter and concentration difficulties. These signs could signify deeper issues needing attention.

My baby is always tilting her head to the right
Female | 3 months old
Your baby could have torticollis. Their head tilts to one side. It may happen because of tight muscles or how they were in the womb. Signs are a tilted head and trouble turning it. A pediatrician may show you special exercises to help. But in very bad cases, they might need a helmet or neck brace.

My son is five years old and he has occasional worms. I gave him pills two months ago. If he gets them again, can I give him the pills again?
Male | 5
Some of the signs covered are itching on the anus, tummy aches, and changes in the appetite. If your child receives the same treatment that was administered two months ago and the same symptoms are present again, it is generally okay to give the standard medication. But it is very important to get the advice from a pediatrician before making any step in this direction. Moreover, with good hygiene manners, like proper handwashing and shorter nails, the chances of re-invading worms are lower.
