Is my 6-year-old's speech delay a medical condition?
I have a 6 years old boy, who does not clearly speak. Sometimes he says words correctly but not in full sentences. Is this speech delay or a medical condition

Answered on 28th June '24
It's common for some children to experience speech delays. However, since your son is 6 years old and still struggles with speaking in full sentences, it is best to consult a pediatric speech therapist or a pediatrician. They can evaluate his condition and recommend appropriate therapies or treatments if needed.

Male | 1
Kids feel lousy when sick. Your child's fever and lack of eating/drinking could mean an infection like a cold or flu. Sometimes, kids don't want food when unwell. Offer lots of liquids - water, juice mixed with water, sips often. Give small meals that digest easily. If the fever is high or your child seems ill, see a pediatrician.

Dr Rathi sir, do you treat snoring problem in children?
Male | 7
Snoring is the medical term for making a noise while breathing during sleep. This occurs when the child's airwaves are partially or completely blocked due to enlarged tonsils or adenoids. And this might cause the child some hardship in the process of their breath. The removal of the tonsils or adenoids can help them to stop snoring and sleep better. It's a good idea to take your kid to the doctor to find the right way to solve his problem.

What should be the height,weight and head circumference of 6 years 7 month old girl
Female | 6
Some studies show 6-year-olds usually grow 110-120 cm. high, while their weight runs 18-26 kilograms, and after the head circumference is between 50-53 cm. If the kid is exceptionally small or big then one may suspect that it is because of her nutrition, genes, or a growth issue. You should control her food, she should get enough rest, and also move. If you have doubts, refer her to a pediatrician.

My toddler is not gaining weight much she is 20months weight 8.2
Female | 2
At the age of 20 months, the weight of 8.2 may be lower than the one anticipated. Among the symptoms of sluggish weight gain could be, for instance, having an unenthusiastic appetite, being overly picky during feedings, or exhibiting low energy levels. The causes might be allergies to food, digestive problems, or developers of an unbalanced diet like picky eaters. Create mealtimes as amusing as can be, you can also consult a pediatrician who will give the best recommendations and evaluations.

Mera bacha kuch nhi kha rha usko loose motion ho rhe h and uska weight 5kg hi h abhi tak wo 18 months complete kr chuke h please kuch btaye
Female | 18 months
Kids have rough days sometimes. Trouble using the bathroom leaves them drained. They can't keep food down well. Low weight follows. But don't worry yet. Some simple causes likely explain loose bowel movements. Maybe a minor infection. Could be food isn't agreeing with them lately. New diet changes can do that. When weight drops and hunger disappears, it's wise to get expert help. A doctor's visit offers the right solution. Give small water sips often to avoid dehydration. Try easy snacks like rice, bananas, and toast. Simple foods are gentle. Get checked out and follow a pediatrician's advice.

My baby girl is of 2 months and i want to change the milk i want to leave the formula milk and want to start a cow milk can i do this .is there any side effect of this or not
Female | 0
At 2 months, babies should be given formula milk as their main drink. Cow’s milk lacks important nutrients needed at this stage and can cause issues like indigestion, anemia, or allergies. Stick with formula milk until your baby is about 1 year old. Please talk to your pediatrician for more guidance.

I have 1 mnth old baby girl she having cough and running nose what should I do
Female | 1 month
Infants typically have a slight cough and a runny nose caused by either viral infections or allergies. Keep the child well-hydrated by giving them breast milk or formula very often. Placing a humidifier in the room also helps loosen mucus and thus the baby can breathe easier. Also, saline nasal drops can be used for that purpose, as they are effective in thinning mucus. Whether you have worries or if the symptoms persist, it is better to see a pediatrician. They will advise you on the proper treatment options.

Sir my son is 5 and a half yrs old and our labrador has jump d on him . He has a scratch on his hand it's vaccination date has failed by 4 days .what should I do
Male | 5
Dog scratches can sometimes get infected. Here's what you need to do: look closely at the scratch. If it gets red, swollen, or pus starts oozing out, that means it's infected. Clean the scratch with soap and water. Then cover it with a bandage. Your son missed his shots by only 4 days, so he should still have some protection. But keep a close watch on that scratch. If anything seems off, don't wait around. See a doctor right away to be safe.

Hi, my baby was born without the soft spot on his head should I be concerned?
Male | 1
Babies often arrive without the soft spot called a fontanelle. This happens when head bones join early before birth. Generally, it's fine, as long as the baby grows well. Though you'll want to mention it to your pediatrician. They can check that development is on track. If any issues arise, the doctor will advise next steps.

Male | 1
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 son se 8 year old he has 3 tablets of Imodium know he was breathing very heavyly and some time he was perfectly alright plz help me
Male | 8
This can be caused by the fact that Imodium may slow down your son's metabolic function. When he is breathing heavily, he is essentially trying to increase the oxygen flow to his body. Please do not give him extra Imodium. Likewise, keep an eye on him to see if he goes back to breathing normally again. If he keeps on having breathing issues, it is necessary to visit a pediatrician.

My daughter by name Bhuvi is 1year 10months old.She drinks only Cow’s milk.She doesn’t eat anything.She drinks around 1litre of milk every day and this has become her Main food.To make her eat food i used to give her variety of foods and give milk only two times during night for 12days.She used to eat very little and drink milk whatever I gave.But she became very weak and lost some weight.She had less energy.There was no improvement in eating food so what should I do now?
Female | 2
Weakness and weight loss in her mean that she is not doing well. Such a restricted diet has caused her to be deficient in necessary nutrients.You could support her in eating by simply making each meal more exciting for her through the introduction of bright, small, and delicious foods. If the issue persists, visiting a pediatrician would be beneficial for further evaluation and guidance.

For a 5-year-old with prickly heat, keep the affected area cool and dry, dress in loose-fitting, breathable clothing, and apply calamine lotion or a mild hydrocortisone cream to soothe irritation. Avoid excessive sweating and heat exposure. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and treatment.

My baby boy is 31 months old and he didn't talking still... That's express his needs with signs only ...what is the the problem?
Male | 31 months
When a child does not talk, especially when he or she is already 31 months old, a parent needs to respond to this issue immediately. It may be an early sign of a speech delay. Sometimes, hearing trouble or a delay in development could be the cause. The most effective way is through speech therapist intervention which may mean providing strategies to improve your child's language skills.
