Vomiting and brown-colored urine aren't normal. Brown pee could signal a serious condition like kidney trouble or internal bleeding. Getting him checked out promptly is crucial. Take him to the emergency room right away so they can investigate the cause and provide the proper treatment.

My 2 years old son is diagnosed with autism. He doesn't speak a single word. He has a poor eye contact. He doesn't understand what we say to him. However he responds to us. Will he be mentally disabled? Or will improve in future?
Female | 40
Children with autism may have delayed speech development, often avoid eye contact, and struggle with comprehension. Not speaking by age 2 could be a warning sign. However, this doesn't mean they will have a lifelong disability. Early intervention, like speech and behavior therapy, can significantly improve their condition.

Your baby boy likely has a pancreatic duct stricture. In simple terms, this means part of his pancreas tube is narrowed. Symptoms like tummy pain or eating troubles can occur. It may be from a birth issue or past inflammation causing the narrowing. Surgery might be needed if it causes major problems. Your best approach is to discuss it with your pediatrician to decide the proper plan.

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.

hi there, i've only now come to realise ive had threadworms for almost all my life - i am 15 and i've probably had them since i was 3 or 4. i want to know what medicine i should be getting to take care of this and can i buy this myself? also will treating this affect my metabolism since i read that these threadworms use glucose to survive so does that mean that's the only thing keeping me skinny?
Female | 15
It's important to treat threadworms with proper medication. You can use over-the-counter medicines like mebendazole or albendazole, which are effective. However, it's best to visit a pediatrician or a general physician for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Treating threadworms won't significantly affect your metabolism.

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 10 month old daughter poops after every feed..wether I give her milk or banana or cerelac...she poops after eating or drinking anything...pls suggest something
Female | 10 month old
It's usual for newborns to poop after eating, yet a consistent movement with a loose or watery content could indicate a sensitive stomach. The probable cause of this might be a certain food in its diet that is not serving well to her. Your food diary can point you in the right direction by showing you the link between her reaction to food and food consumption. It will be worthwhile to discuss this with a pediatrician, who will reassure you about its healthiness and help you figure out ways to get rid of it if there is any malaise. Make sure your child gets enough fluids and give her foods that are easy on the stomach, such as rice and bananas.

Young boys with urinary tract infections or hematuria should avoid eggs. Egg consumption aggravates bladder irritation, and worsening symptoms. The signs include pain during urination, frequent bathroom trips, and pinkish-reddish urine. Hydration and fruits/veggies aid recovery, helping the body combat the infection. Symptoms like painful urination, increased urinary frequency, and discolored urine indicate the condition. .

I am 12 years old and I am a female who has been having chest pain for at least 2 and a half years now. It has been happening with sharp pains either my left arm or right arm. It hurts very badly and sometimes I feel very sharp pains near the chest area. Though breast pain may not have to do with this but I get it when I'm not on my period or when my period isn't even yet to come. Today I have felt a sharp pain near the breast area , underneath them. The chest pains as well come every so often. There were times were I wasn't able to sleep due to the pain near or on my chest. I have told my parents and seen a doctor once but the doctors said nothing about it at all and only talked about my allergies. So I'm concerned if this is bad because there are times I think I wont be alive by the next day because of the pain. Maybe I am just overthinking but I don't want to not know what's going on. So please answer my concerns if you can.
Female | 12
Chest pain at a young age can be related to various causal factors, such as muscle strain or an anxiety attack. However, there can also be a connection to the sharp pain in the arms. You must see a cardiologist. Next time remember it is vital to point out chest pain including other symptoms. Based on this observation and your results, they may suggest the needed tests.

Male | 22 Months
This can happen for a few things. He might have pooped hard and that caused some very small cuts. Or he could have a minor sickness. Make sure he drinks lots of water. Give him food with lots of fiber like apples and carrots. If the blood spots do not go away soon, or if he acts sick, take him to see a pediatrician.

My son age is 8 but he is just 20 kg And also his nails always have white spots and the skin below the nails are always looks detached Is this deficiency of zinc Can you recommend any zinc syrup
Male | 8
The white spots on his nails and the skin under them looking detached could be signs of a zinc deficiency. These things can occur when our bodies don't get enough zinc. You can give him a syrup that contains zinc, but you must be cautious about the appropriate amount. Always stick to the recommended dose on the bottle. Eating foods like meat, nuts, and seeds will also further help his zinc levels. And it's always a good idea to check with a pediatrician if everything is fine.
