Did my 17-month-old son get bitten by a brown recluse spider?

I found a brown lecluse on my 17th month old sons leg and now I'm not sure if he got bit or not. I do have a picture.

Answered on 25th June '24

This spider bite may show pain, redness, or itching with a blister forming at the site. You will need to wash the bite location well with some soap and water then put on an ice pack so that it does not swell too much. Keep an eye on it for a few days after any other problems appear call a pediatrician.

My kid had constant throat clearing and dry cough he feels some mucus stuck in throat but couldn't cough out..... It's been the third time in this year now.... What medicine should I give..... No runny nose and fever now....

Male | 10

It seems like your child has postnasal drip. This happens when mucus from the nose drips down into the throat, causing throat clearing sounds and a dry cough. It can happen even without a runny nose or fever. You can help by giving your child warm drinks and using a humidifier to ease the congestion. Make sure they drink plenty of water to help thin the mucus as well.

My daughter is almost 4 years old. She had club foot by birth on left foot and left eye is also squint eye. Club foot was treated by 4 plasters early after birth. Later on, she started walking but still her left foot fingers get curved or turned when I notice. Squint eye treatment is still in progress. She is using glasses since she was one year old. Eyesight number goes varies time to time but not recovered fully. Suggestions please, I am really worried about her.

Female | 4

Your daughter likely has a clubfoot and a squint that can't be straightened. The fact that her clubfoot was treated at an early stage is a good thing, but the curved fingers may still be present. Regarding Ames squint-eye, the treatment is still in progress. The use of glasses is widespread and it is crucial to have her sight checked frequently.

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.

My baby has tongue tie problem

Female | 2

Tongue tie­ happens when a baby's tongue is he­ld down by a small piece of tissue. Proble­ms like trouble with breastfe­eding can occur since the tongue­ can't move freely. This issue­ develops if the tissue­ restricting the tongue is too short. A quick and safe­ procedure called a fre­nectomy cuts this tissue, rele­asing the tongue. Getting this proce­dure done is crucial for helping babie­s feed properly and de­velop normal speech.

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.

Iam 10years old and hyper activity

Male | 10

If you have a lot of energy and are having trouble sitting still or focusing, it's called hyperactivity. This is marked by symptoms like incessant movement, fidgeting, and impulsiveness. Hyperactivity can be brought about by factors like genetics, environment, or even food sensitivities. To manage the condition of hyperactivity, it is necessary to have a balanced diet, to sleep sufficiently, and to exercise regularly. Occasionally, therapy or medication may also be of assistance.

These symptoms can be­ pretty rough for a kid her age. The­re are a few possible­ reasons: stress, not enough sle­ep, or something in her die­t. My advice is to take her to se­e a pediatric neurologist for the­ headaches, plus a counselor. Ge­tting help from both might be useful.

It is important to have your 10-day-old baby examined by a pediatrician or a pediatric neurologist to determine the cause of the swelling on the head. They can assess if it's due to a normal variation or needs further evaluation and provide appropriate guidance based on the findings.
