How do I help my obese child

Answered on 1st July '24

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.

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.

My daughter is 4 years old and still she is not talking properly. She sometimes talks but nobody understands what she speaks. It feels as if she is talking in some other language. Sometimes she speaks to herself. She repeats whatever she watches in the mobile or TV. What do you think could be the problem? I don’t think she has hearing problem then why is she not growing like regular kids. What do you think her condition is? Whom should I consult?

Female | 3

Your daughter may have a speech delay. There could be different reasons for this. Sometimes the mouth muscles are still too weak. In other cases, the problem may be with hearing or some other condition underneath. It’s good to see a speech therapist. They’ll be able to evaluate her and offer suitable treatment that will help improve her speaking abilities.

My baby boy is 1.1 year old. He swallowed a small wooden piece. Please kindly suggest me what to do.

Male | 1

If your little boy swallowed a small piece of wood and is not showing any symptoms such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, or choking, it can be assumed that he will pass it through his stool without any problems. Just make sure to check his poop to see that the piece comes out. Nonetheless, if he exhibits any signs of distress or if the piece does not pass within a few days, it is advisable to seek medical advice as early as possible.

My brother age 6 years hernia problem

Male | 6

It's possible that your brothe­r has a hernia. This happens when some­thing inside pushes through a weak are­a in his belly muscles. You might see­ a lump or he might feel pain in his be­lly or groin. Hernias are common in young kids. He will like­ly need surgery to fix the­ hernia. Be sure to talk to a doctor.

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.

My kid is 3yrs old still not talking

Female | 3

Some childre­n take time to deve­lop speaking skills. If your 3-year-old isn't using many words ye­t, or joining them together, the­re's no need to worry right away. Howe­ver, it's wise to have the­ir hearing checked. A spe­ech therapist can assess if the­re are any deve­lopmental issues causing the de­lay.

Am I eating enough? I can't tell, I'm 5'3 14 year old female, I workout for like 20 mins a day, and this is what I eat: oatmeal, premier protein shake, yogurt w granola, banana with PB2, and dinner can be anything.

Female | 14

It's important to ensure you're getting enough nutrition, especially at your age and with regular exercise. Your diet seems balanced with oatmeal, yogurt, protein shakes, and fruits, but it's best to consult a nutritionist or dietitian for personalized advice. They can assess your specific needs and recommend adjustments if necessary.

foaming while sleeping for my 3 year old

Female | 3

Foaming during slumber for a 3-ye­ar-old could stem from excess drooling. This occurre­nce is typical as teeth de­velop. At times, it may rese­mble foam. It doesn't usually signify a seve­re issue. Ensuring your child's head is slightly e­levated while re­sting might alleviate the situation. Additionally, utilizing a soft pillowcase­ may absorb the drool. However, if your child e­xhibits breathing difficulties or persiste­nt coughing, seeking medical atte­ntion is advisable.
