General Physician
Answered on 28th Oct '24
It is quite common for kids to snore, however, when it is loud, it may be a hint of a health problem. Snoring mainly occurs when the airflow to your son's lungs is obstructed while he is asleep. This condition can occur because of enlarged tonsils or adenoids, allergies, or simply anatomy. Sometimes it may lead to poor quality of sleep. To assist, consider making his room cooler, keeping his bed clean, and if you're worried, talking to a pediatrician.

My baby boy is 5 months old. His birth weight was 2.7 and now he is 5.6kg. I am worried whether the weight gain is proper. When to start solids for him. I mean what is the indication?? What to give him initially while starting solids like just ragi ceri or start with fruits na vegetable puree?? Initially how many times to give solids?
Male | Boy of harshini
At 5 months, a weight of 5.6 kg is generally acceptable, but each child is unique. Solid foods can be introduced around 6 months, showing readiness through signs like good head control and interest in food. Initially, focus on single-grain cereals or pureed fruits and vegetables. Start with small amounts, once a day, gradually increasing as he adapts. Remember, every baby's journey is different, so consulting your pediatrician can offer tailored advice and reassurance for your concerns.

My baby age 25 days old he suffer from cough
Male | 25
Seeing your baby's cough is distressing. Colds or mild infections often cause infant coughing. Babies may also have a runny/stuffy nose. Keep them comfortable, elevating their head for sleeping. Use a bulb syringe to clear nasal congestion. Humidifiers add moisture, easing symptoms. However, if coughing persists or worsens, consult a pediatrician promptly.

My 2 month baby child she is very crying ?? countinue only night' time How to treatment
Female | 0
Babies cry frequently, notably at nighttime. Perhaps your little one suffers from colic. While its precise root remains unidentified, colic is widespread and typically resolves independently by 4 months. To comfort your infant, consider gentle rocking motions, calming white noise, or a warm pre-bedtime bath.

Please what can I do when my son is breathing fast and also coughing little
Male | 3
If your son is breathing fast and coughing, it could indicate a respiratory issue like asthma or a respiratory infection. It's important to consult a pediatrician or a pulmonologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment. They can assess his condition and recommend appropriate medications or therapies to help him breathe more comfortably.

A monkey scratched a breastfeeding mother. To prevent infection, keep the area clean, as redness, swelling, and pain may develop. If the cut hasn't healed, avoid breastfeeding from that side. Use warm compresses, and if it doesn’t improve, consult a doctor.

I am a mother to a 4yrs old boy He has a swollen neck under his ear with high fever that doesn't go away after taking ovc antibiotics,, please what should I do
Male | 4years
It seems that your son might have an inflammation which is probably related to the lymph nodes or salivary glands and that can make the body part transfer and the temperature of another part rise. Viral infections, bacterial infections, or dental problems are all common reasons. Due to the fact that the antibiotics you got from the drug store have not worked, it’s important to take him to the pediatrician. Who can diagnose and suggest the needful tests or treatments for him.

Sir ..my baby 7 month complete.Brestfeeding mother can eat mushroom powder it's safe or not safe
Female | 26
It is normally safe to consume mushroom powder while breastfeeding, but only in small amounts. If it starts causing your baby to develop a rash, fussiness, or diarrhea after you eat it, stop eating it. The addition of slight amounts of mushroom powder in your diet is safe for your baby. The reality is that all babies are different, and if you observe any changes, it is better to discard them and talk to your child's pediatrician.

He been ill last night and didn’t go school Today and been coughing aswell
Male | 13
To have worries when someone is sick is a very normal thing. Conditions like colds, which may come with symptoms such as a sore throat and fatigue, could be the reason for the infection, both the common ones and the mild ones. The best cure for it is rest, water, and a diet that provides relevant nutrients. Using a humidifier will savvily ease coughing. If the symptoms do not go or get worse with some other problem, it is reasonable to discuss this health issue with a pediatrician.

Male | 8 years
It's common for children to experience fever, which can stem from infections or other minor illnesses. Difficulty sleeping and fear after medication are understandable responses. Ensure your child stays hydrated and rests. You might want to take a cool bath to help lower the fever. If symptoms persist or worsen, or if he shows signs of dehydration, it’s important to seek medical advice. A pediatrician can provide the best guidance tailored to his needs.

2 year old baby birth k Baad Roya nahi tha jis ki waja sy Nazar nahi Ata Bolta nahi hai
Male | 2 year
At this age, some kids may not yet speak or show visual engagement, which can be influenced by various factors, including developmental delays, hearing issues, or environmental factors. I recommend engaging with your child through play and reading, which can promote language skills. Observing if they respond to sounds and movements can also help. However, it’s important to consult a pediatrician for a thorough evaluation to rule out any underlying issues.

My son is 12year old his mind is ok but he can't work only he can be alright there sir
Male | 12
Your son might face muscular weakness, making activities challenging. Weak muscles lack sufficient strength, often from lack of exercise or proper nutrition. However, a healthcare provider's guidance, exercises, and balanced diet can gradually improve muscle strength. Encourage active lifestyle and nutritious foods like fruits, veggies, and whole grains for muscle growth.

Kids often struggle to speak at 3 years old. But, if your child tries and doesn't improve, you should act. This may mean a speech delay. Causes could be hearing issues or development problems. I'd suggest an expert checks your child, like a speech therapist or pediatrician. They'll figure out the best way to boost speech skills.

Rashes often appear on the baby's bottoms. This is common and not serious. Diapers cause wetness, and irritating skin. To relieve rash, change diapers regularly. Apply gentle baby cream. Let the skin air out sometimes. However, if the rash worsens or persists, consult a pediatrician.

My 3nd half years son is passing urine frequently
Male | 3
If he is drinking water, it's normal. But if he's not drinking more water, yet he's still peeing a lot then it might be due to a urinary tract infection. This can lead to pain and a constant need to urinate. Ensure that he's getting enough water and try to take him to a pediatrician for examination.

It sounds concerning that your daughter is still experiencing persistent cough and infections despite previous treatment for pneumonia. It's important to consult a pediatric pulmonologist. They can assess her symptoms thoroughly, consider other possible causes, and recommend appropriate treatment to manage her condition effectively. Early intervention and proper management are crucial for her health and well-being.
