Why is my 7-year-old daughter struggling with speech delay?
I have a 7-year-old daughter who has been evaluated for autism, noting that she does not have much autism, but she suffers from a real delay in speech (conversation), but she can ask sometimes, and listen to commands while accepting or rejecting them sometimes.

Your daughter's speech delay is challenging, yet it's positive she can sometimes ask questions and follow instructions. Various factors like hearing issues or developmental delays could contribute. Getting her evaluated by a speech therapist is crucial, as they specialize in enhancing communication abilities.

My son 7months old, he s getting cold often for past four months, before three months we kept nebulizer for him. After medicines he s getting cured but after a week again he s getting cold may I know wats the reason and how can I prevent him
Male | 7 months
Colds are quite common in infants as their immune systems develop. A runny or stuffy nose is the primary symptom. The recurrence stems from his immature immunity against germs. To prevent future colds, maintain a hygienic environment, practice frequent handwashing, and limit exposure to ill individuals. Nutritious dietary intake and adequate rest can bolster his immunity. However, if the cold persists or concerning symptoms arise, consult a pediatrician.

Baby is vommitting again and again. What should be done?
Female | 4
Babies sometimes vomit too much food. Perhaps your little one ate quickly or had a slight illness. Keep giving small sips to prevent dehydration. However, constant vomiting needs medical attention. Reach out to a pediatrician if vomiting persists to get advice and proper care.

I gave cremazen plus to 3years baby as 5ml unexpected as the gelusil mps was same.any problem for this
Male | 3
Giving Cremazen Plus, meant for adults, to a three-year-old child instead of Gelusil MPS could lead to issues. Side effects like feeling sleepy, puzzled, and an upset tummy are possible. The mix-up arose because these medicines treat varying stomach problems. To correct this, ensure the proper medication is given next time.

Which supplement is good to grow height after 16 in like 9-10 months??
Female | 17
You're considering height. Bones halt growth past age 16, so supplements cannot increase stature. Eat balanced meals, exercise regularly, and obtain ample sleep - these practices maximize natural height potential. If worried, discuss it with a medical professional. Maintain healthy habits.

My daughter laughs all day and can't concentrate
Female | 17
Lots of laughter can indicate other problems. Kids may laugh excessively to hide stress or anxiety. Speak candidly with your daughter about her feelings. You may need counseling to manage emotions better. Early intervention helps kids feel better faster. Note laughter and concentration difficulties. These signs could signify deeper issues needing attention.

Worried about giving budecort and easybreath together? That combo could potentially lead to some side effects for your baby. They might experience a faster heartbeat, feel jittery, or have trouble sleeping soundly. Be on the lookout for those signs. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, reach out to your child's doctor right away.

Male | 15
Weight fluctuations during adolescence are normal. Gaining from 53 kgs at 12 to 71 kgs at 15 is expected. As teens grow taller and their bodies change, weight gain comes naturally. Maintain a balanced diet and stay active. If worried, talk to a pediatrician for reassurance.

My seven years old daughter's behaviour is little bit different from other children. Although she is good in academic. But she thinks herself smaller than her age and behave accordingly. Please guide what should we do. She is a sesiorion baby at 36 week. When she started siting her neck was tilted towards right shoulder. Her right eye is weak. She puts her finger in her eyes. We dont know whether she has sense in her eyes or not. She is weeping unnecessarily. Please guide us.

Your daughter may be experiencing developmental and sensory challenges that could benefit from evaluation by a pediatric neurologist or pediatric ophthalmologist. These specialists can assess her vision, behavior, and developmental milestones to provide a clear understanding of her needs.

My newborn has crp level of 39 .After 2 days of antibiotics it decreased to 18. But after another 4 days no changes .it remains 18 only. Is this something to worry about or are Antibiotics are not working anymore
Female | 5 days
Having a CRP level of 18 when a baby is born could mean an infection exists. The antibiotics helped lower it initially, that's good. But if it stays unchanged after more days, we may need to check if the antibiotics are still working properly. Contact your pediatrician if the baby develops fever, gets fussy, struggles with feeding, or has breathing issues. They can guide you on what to do next.

My 10 month old daughter poops after every feed..wether I give her milk or banana or cerelac...she poops after eating or drinking anything...pls suggest something
Female | 10 month old
It's usual for newborns to poop after eating, yet a consistent movement with a loose or watery content could indicate a sensitive stomach. The probable cause of this might be a certain food in its diet that is not serving well to her. Your food diary can point you in the right direction by showing you the link between her reaction to food and food consumption. It will be worthwhile to discuss this with a pediatrician, who will reassure you about its healthiness and help you figure out ways to get rid of it if there is any malaise. Make sure your child gets enough fluids and give her foods that are easy on the stomach, such as rice and bananas.

4and half year old kid, girl, in blood report CRP 21.6, getting fever frequently, head is more warm then rest of the body. git prescribed Azithromycin 200 twice a day, Cefopodoxime 50mg thrice a day, and for fever Paracetamol with Mefanamic acid as per requirement. Its about 3-4 days, but no improvement in fever, and now kid is not allowing to touch his stomach.Several vomits were during Macpod(cefopodoxime tablet) until replaced with oral suspension. Suggestions requested for food and eatings and when we should look further to be worried?
Female | 4
The fever and hot head might indicate an infection, while the vomiting and stomach ache could be from the medication. Let's switch to a different antibiotic and add probiotics to ease the stomach issues. Keep offering light, bland foods like crackers, bananas, and rice. If symptoms don't improve or get worse, further tests may be needed.

Hi! I just started wetting the bed two nights in a row. My friend gave me one of his kids Huggies 4t-5t Pull Ups to try. I tried one on and it fit perfect actually since I am small for my age. I woke up wet today. I also have tried out a pacifier that they gave me for better sleep for a few nights.
Male | 26
Bedwetting as an adult can be due to various reasons like stress, urinary tract infections, or other medical conditions. It's important to see a urologist to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. Using pull-ups or pacifiers may help in the short term, but consulting a specialist is the best step for a long-term solution.

My baby daughter whose age is 2 years and 10 months got some rashes ( without irritation/itching) two weeks back. Pediatrician recommended atarax, a to z syrup and one dose of ivermectin/albendazole syrup. They decreased for two days and again came on second day. Then he proposed predone syrup. They went away from then. After three to four days further we stopped medication as suggested by pediatrician. Now it is 14th day. Today morning again slight rashes appeared. But not like earlier. Should we wait for two more days so that they reduce themselves or consult a pediatrici dermatologist
Female | 3
The rash has been rightly treated with medications prescribed by the pediatrician. You can wait to see how the rash develops or goes away by itself in a few days

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.

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.
Male | 11
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.

Hi, Hi, my son received an antibiotic today, Amoxicillin 250/5ml, no dosage was given. The son is 12 years old and weighs 60 kg.
Mężczyzna | 12
At 12 years old, 60 kg, the typical dose: is 25 mg/kg daily. So, approximately 1500 mg per day for your son, divided into 12-hour intervals. However, consult your doctor for the precise dosage based on his condition. Ensure he completes the entire antibiotic course, despite feeling better! Inform your doctor if side effects occur, such as rash, diarrhea, or vomiting.

My baby 2.10 Years old, but he did not talk. He is a pre-mature baby. He is very phone addicted. He is hearing any sound, any time he suffering cold, cough and fever.
Male | 2.10
Premature babies tend to have some delay in growth and development but will catch up later . Child needs detailed development assessment . There are specific parent questionnaire on development which parent can observe and answer . Child also needs formal hearing and speech assessment.
Extended or long screen times like cell phones / TV are best avoided .. as they have an impact on child s development.
