The fever of 101°F can be controlled with paracetamol drops. I guess your daughter is 6 months old. The doctor's manual indicates 10-15 mg per kg of her weight, but since she was not weighed, I am dispensing a general rule or you have to consult your pediatrician for specificity.
The soft bowel movements and fever could be caused by a slight viral infection. Make sure she remains hydrated and keeps up with her usual meals. If you still have symptoms, please visit the doctor.

Hello My 11 year old son started showing covid symptoms on Tuesday August 1st. I tested him Friday August 4th and it was positive. I tested him again this morning and it's still positive. I was wondering if he still needs to quarantine. School is Monday and I dont know if he should go or not.

It's worrying your son caught COVID-19. He needs to stay quarantined, even with a positive test. COVID-19 spreads easily, and symptoms are gone or not. Common signs are coughing, fever, and tiredness. Protecting others means avoiding the spread. So stay home until not contagious.

My 4yrs kid is having heavy cough and cold from 3-4 days. Its getting worse day by day. He is having continuous cough
Male | 4
Kids deal with coughing and colds differently. Typical signs include a drippy nose, sneezing fits, and lingering cough. Viruses spread easily, causing these issues. Make sure your kiddo drinks enough liquids, rests well, and uses a humidifier to alleviate coughing. You could offer honey as well. If your child appears very ill or struggles breathing, seek medical attention promptly.

My daughter is having recurrent fever syndrome. Does that mean she has weak immunity. Will it go or will it be lifelong because she falls sick every 15 th date of the month for 5 days with high fever. Will it continue in adulthood as well
Female | 2
Recurrent fever could be many reasons! It may, however, be the flu, which may not be the case here. It is very essential to get your doctor on board to determine the factor that is behind the condition. Your pediatrician might recommend tests to find the most appropriate treatment.

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?
Male | 6
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.

1 year and half baby girl always crossing her legs and wriggles her waist sympee
Female | 2
It is not uncommon for babies to move in various ways as they develop. Occasionally, babies may cross their legs and wiggle excessively. The reason for this is that they are usually discovering different body movements. If you have a healthy and happy baby, there should be no reason for you to be worried. Nevertheless, if you find any bizarre symptoms in your baby or your baby seems to be uncomfortable, consulting a pediatrician would be a great idea to be sure that everything is alright.

My chief age 3.2 year and he have 102 fever from last 2 days also nose sneezing (running nose) issue
Male | 3
Kids often catch colds. A virus enters their body. This causes fever and runny noses. Rest, fluids, and acetaminophen help. Keep them comfortable. The cold will pass as their immune system fights the virus. Don't worry too much. With care, they'll recover quickly.

Hlo doctor my self hameeda my baby is 21days old can i put aptamil formula milk for my baby because i have less production of milk in my breast
Male | 21day old
When the supply of breast milk is limited, you can slowly switch your baby to formula milk that has nutrients like Aptamil for your baby. Excess stress and in some cases, improper breastfeeding are the reasons why some moms have low milk production. Be calm about it. You will be able to feed your baby the needed nutrients via formula milk. Be sure to go through the instructions on the formula package.

I AM YEAR OLD GIRL. MY WEIGHT IS 17.9 KG AND MY HEIGHT IS 121 CM. MY HEIGHT AND WEIGHT NOT GROWING WELL AS WELL AS I DO NOT HAVE SO MUCH HUNGRY. I FEEL TO SLEEPY AT 8 P.M EVERYDAY SO I CAN NOT CONTINUE MY STUDY AT NIGHT.
Female | 9
My concern is coming from the fact that you get tired quite early, say at 8 p.m., have no appetite at all, and seem to have stopped adding weight and becoming taller. These signs could be caused by things like lack of proper nutrients or a sickness. Therefore, you should share this information with a responsible grown-up – maybe a family member or your teacher – so that they assist you in getting medical attention. A doctor will examine you to find out what is wrong and give you the necessary treatment.

Female | 2
Lingering symptoms happen after recovery. Her body clears infection leftovers. Keep hydrating her. Use a humidifier, saline drops for mucus relief. Ensure she's comfy. Monitor breathing issues; seek help if worsening. Otherwise, she'll recover gradually.

Female | 5 month
These symptoms can also mean a common cold is happening. Colds are mostly due to viruses. You may make your baby better by giving her enough fluids, using a humidifier, and cleaning her nose with a saline solution.

My daughter 2.4 year old having 12 mm atrial septal defect . she is only 11.5 kg in weight,don't eat properly,having cold and cough most of the time. My question is at which age i do need closure of my child . is it close by device or do i need surgery. what is the minimum age for device closure.
Female | 2
Your daughter has a 12 mm opening in the wall between the upper chambers of her heart. This opening makes her feel exhausted, lose appetite, and get sick frequently. The opening typically needs closing when she turns 3 to 5 years old. Closing may involve inserting a device or undergoing surgery. Speaking with a heart specialist can help determine the ideal approach for your child.

My baby was born on 15 May 2024 but his oxygen level was very low and he did not even cry. Now he is on ventilator support. It has been 5 days. Can you tell us whether the health of the baby will improve and what will happen next? What problems will the baby face? And how many days will it take for the baby to become mature?
Male | New born baby
Low levels of oxygen at birth can cause a variety of problems. Ventilation support will be necessary to help the infant breathe. It’s a difficult time but with good care the baby’s condition should improve. There might be complications such as lung issues or delays in development. The baby will need more time to grow and mature than usual – usually about 40 weeks from when they were due for delivery.

I have 15 months baby can I use spasan Noel tablet
Female | 22
Giving a 15-month-old baby Spasmonel tablets is dangerous. These pills are not for babies and might bring harm to them. In the case that your baby is having stomach issues or is feeling some kind of discomfort, it's better to use some mild tools such as holding him/her tenderly, giving water, or attempting a warm bath. Get advice from a pediatrician if symptoms do not improve or get worse.

Sir, my baby is sneeging differently, what is the problem?
Female | 10
A baby sneezing frequently and differently might signal a minor cold or allergies. Dust or pollen can trigger excess sneezing. Monitor for runny noses or watery eyes. Clean surroundings and remove allergens can help. If sneezing persists, consult a pediatrician to ensure all is well.

It looks like your little one may have food refusal, struggling to take anything but breast milk. This could stem from sensory sensitivity, teething pain, or pickiness. You can try offering soft, varied eats in bite-sized portions throughout the day. If the troubles persist, consult with your pediatrician for tips.

I am a child of age 11 and I think I have checken pox
Male | 11
Chickenpox is a frequent illness in kids. The symptoms consist of red itchy spots which form into blisters, fever, and not feeling well. It is caused by a virus called varicella-zoster. The good news is that chickenpox usually will go away by itself in a week or two. Be sure to consume enough fluids and rest. Prevent scarring by scratching the blisters. Inform a grown-up at home so they can help take care of you while you recover.
