1 Year Old with RSV: Oxygen Levels Concern at 91%?
I have a 1 year old with RSV and her oxygen level is siting at 91% should I be concerned. It dropped to 87% for a split second then shot back up to 91%. She is breathing 26 breathes per minute.

General Physician
Answered on 13th Dec '24
A 91% oxygen level is slightly low for a one-year-old with RSV. This virus makes breathing harder for babies. The dropping oxygen shows her lungs are struggling. Watch her closely to ensure she's comfortable. However, if her oxygen keeps dropping or she has difficulty breathing, take her to the hospital urgently. Ensure she drinks lots of fluids and rests.

Female | 3
It's common for children to have movable lumps due to swollen lymph nodes, which often occur with infections. However, since the lump has persisted for two months, it's important to consult a pediatrician. They can properly assess and provide the best advice for your child's condition.

My baby girl has whitish uvula this is confusing me is it normal in Newborn kindly help me with it
Female | 1.5 months
A whitish uvula in newborns is perfectly normal, which is the small dangly thing that hangs in the back of the throat. This can be caused by the buildup of milk or mucus. If your baby is not having any issues with breathing or feeding, then there is usually no reason to worry. Simply after it. If your baby is having trouble breathing or feeding, get in touch with a pediatrician.

Hi there, I just have a quick question that my 13 year old daughter asked me and I wasn’t sure what the answer was
Female | 13
Hiccups happen when the diaphragm muscle below the lungs contracts suddenly. Eating rapidly, carbonated beverages or excitement may trigger hiccups. Typically, hiccups stop by themselves but try deep breathing or sipping water if persistent. Hiccups are little noises our bodies make, sometimes cute. They usually resolve on their own, but lasting ones need attention. Deep breaths help relax the diaphragm, while water soothes throat spasms causing hiccups.

Erkek | 20 months old
Hearing loss can often arise from various factors, including genetic conditions or complications during birth. While stem cell therapy is being explored for certain conditions, its effectiveness for hearing impairment is still under research and may not be a validated treatment option at this stage. It’s essential to consult an ear specialist who can provide a comprehensive evaluation and recommend appropriate interventions, such as hearing aids or cochlear implants, tailored to your child's needs.

Migraines in kids can result from missing meals, fatigue, or excessive screen usage. Ensuring proper nutrition, adequate rest, and limited screen time may help alleviate his discomfort. However, if the headaches persist, consulting your child's pediatrician would be wise.

My 2 year old boy swallow eltroxin 75 ....3-4 tablets accidentally
Male | 2
If your kid accidentally takes some Eltroxin, it is the most important thing to watch for any uncommon signs or symptoms including holding up his pulse rate, sudden grumpiness, or any signs of restlessness. An overused amount of it would make the hormone of the thyroid gland unbalanced. The first and best idea you may have is to consult with a pediatrician because the specialist will evaluate the disease and then, if necessary, indicate several laboratories or give recommendations for the treatment. Being calm, and timely care is the key that ensuring his safety.

Male | 1.5
If you're concerned about your 1.5 year old son's genital development, it's essential to consult a pediatrician or pediatric urologist for an evaluation. Small or retracting testicles may be normal in some cases, but it's crucial to rule out conditions like undescended testicles or hernias.

Peeling nails in a 3.5-year-old girl could be due to nutritional deficiencies (especially in vitamins like biotin), habits like nail-biting, or even skin conditions such as eczema. It’s best to consult a pediatrician or dermatologist, who can assess her condition and recommend the appropriate care.

Mere bete ne pink cotton canddy khai thi or uska peshab gulabi ho gaya hai
पुरुष | 2
Eating pink cotton candy can give your son pink urine. Harmless, yet odd. It's called "pink urine syndrome". Certain dyes pass through the body unchanged. He should drink lots of water to flush it out. Don't let him eat too much. But if pink urine persists or he feels pain, take him to see a urologist.

Best formula milk fr 0 to 6 mnth baby
Female | 26
Deciding on the best infant formula for your baby's health and well-being is a major decision. During the first 6 months of life, you should give him a complete nutrient that contains essential vitamins and minerals. Try to avoid formulas for babies that contain corn syrup, high fructose syrup, or sucrose. Obesity and type 2 diabetes are two of the possible health problems that will cause serious damage to our kids.

The symptoms could mean your brother has trouble with muscles or nerves. This might happen due to muscle issues or nerve problems. Still, a doctor is needed to find the real cause and proper treatment. Meanwhile, help him with healthy foods and exercises he can do. Choose things that don't strain him too much, to uplift his well-being. Watch closely for any changes and quickly see an orhopedist if needed.

Male | 0
In children, any fever above 100 degrees Fahrenheit should be investigated. It might mean there’s an infection present. It’s important to go through the blood test report for any indications of an infection. The most likely causes are respiratory or urinary tract infections. After you get the results, make sure you book another appointment with a pediatrician so that they can recommend the right treatment.

Female | 12
As girls approach adolescence, bodily changes happen - it's normal. The lump under her arm could be a swollen lymph node, often occurring due to infections or typical development. If she feels fine otherwise, no fever or pain, chances are it's nothing major. However, keep monitoring it closely. Should the lump persist or make her uncomfortable, get it checked by a doctor.

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.

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.

What is the reason to my 45 days baby not drinking milk in two days
Male | 1.5 month
Babies usually don't drink much milk but if two days have passed and your baby is 45 days old then you should be concerned. It could be a little tummy ache, not feeling well, or maybe even a sore throat be some reasons for this. You may try to give smaller quantities of milk for a while more often and also make the temperature of the milk no colder than too cold or too hot. If this persists, it would be advisable to see a pediatrician.

Male | 5
It seems your son is unwell. Fever in children is usually seen along with infections that have germs as the causative agent. The body may bring fever to get rid of these diseases. Be certain that he is well hydrated first, eats nutritious food, and rests accordingly. You should consult a pediatrician if the fever persists.
