Can Contact with Sick Child Worsen Illness?
If my son is sick and he was around another sick child that probably has the same cold he has and they started something can my child get worse

Answered on 26th June '24
Catching a cold is likely if exposed to someone who's sick. Colds come from viruses - tiny germs. Symptoms may include coughing, sneezing, runny nose, fever sometimes. To help your son recover, ensure he rests well, drinks plenty of fluids, and takes over-the-counter medicine if required.

Diarrhea can lead to dehydration, especially in children, so providing fluids is necessary. You can give your child water but it's essential to do it in small, frequent sips rather than large amounts at once. You can also give ORS to help prevent dehydration.

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.

Hello , My baby is 2 and a half month now. Our pediatrician recommended me to give formula milk for 2 days saying that due to breastfeeding my baby is getting gas. Should I give him formula. From another BEMS doctor always suggest me only breast milk should be given to baby.
Male | 2.5 months
Gas is a common occurrence in babies and can make them quite irritable. When eating, they may swallow air or break down certain nutrients found in breast milk, causing it. To release trapped air more frequently during feeding, try burping your baby often. Additionally, tender tummy massages could also provide relief from gas. If you can, stick with breastfeeding since it’s the best for your baby’s well-being; however, you might want to consider speaking to a pediatrician for further advice.

My child got vaccinated and got swelling on injected area ..what should i understand by this that vaccination is done properly or not and how should i treat my child to get rid of pain and swelling.
Male | 5
Swelling, and pain at the injection area - this is normal for kids after vaccination. The body responds by building immunity. Cold packs soothe discomfort; acetaminophen helps too. Persistent swelling warrants checking with the doctor. But generally, these reactions indicate the vaccine is working as intended.

Female | 10
Your sister might experience anxiety. Anxiety causes shortness of breath, trembling, and disrupted sleep. It also affects appetite, leaving one feeling weak. When the body is stressed, it impacts our well-being and eating habits. A crucial step is helping her relax. Simple activities like deep breathing, calming music, or enjoyable hobbies can soothe her mind. Ensure the eats well, even if it's small, frequent meals. Encourage healthy snacks like fruits, veggies, and nuts. If her condition doesn't improve, it's advisable to consult the doctor again.

Mere baby ne aaj subah pale yellow stool paas kiya hai sir. And Yesterday se vo sirf curd ,mother feed or pani pee raha. Kal banana bhi khaya tha chapati nai kha raha Plz tell solution Iam very worried .
Male | 1
This could be related to the liver, gallbladder, or a change in diet. The stool color might change if your baby isn't eating his snacks. To be safe, monitor your baby's stool color, and if the change persists, consult your pediatrician. Keep offering a variety of foods to find out what your baby likes to eat.

My daughter who is 20 months old hasnt pooped in the last 6 days...but doesnt show any sign of discomforts...Im trying to give her more liquid foods and she has her food also properly...what are the steps i need to take to make sure she poops..what are foods i need to include for her
Female | 1
Don't stress if your 20-month-old hasn't pooped for 6 days but seems okay. Constipation is normal for kids. You're right to offer more liquids. Water, prune juice, pears are good options. Whole grains, veggies, beans may also assist. Keep her active. If she still doesn't poop after trying these, it's wise to see a pediatrician.

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's important to understand that behavioral changes in teenagers can stem from various factors, including psychological issues or developmental concerns.

My 11 year old girl is getting cramps on her middle finger atlist three times in a month and i have notice all her fingers is turning dark in color
Female | 11
The middle finger cramps and the darkening of all fingers sound uncomfortable. The reason is there may not be enough blood flow in the fingers. One common cause is Raynaud's disease, which is a disorder that affects blood flow. If the issue gets worse, talk to an orthopedist.

Since 15 days my child i having coughing ... She always complaints to have pain behind the head ..can i knw why?
Female | 3
A cough lasting 15 days poses challenges. Coughing strains the head and neck muscles, potentially causing headaches behind the head. Ensure your child stays hydrated; proper rest is vital. Consult a pediatrician to rule out serious conditions. Monitor your child closely; seek medical advice if symptoms persist or worsen.

Female | 1
Your baby may be experiencing a mild allergic reaction. This can be caused by contact with plants, animals, or certain foods. The red patches could show that a response is taking place within her body. You should apply a light moisturizing lotion to keep her skin moist. Ensure that you protect her from anything she might be allergic to. Should the rash continue or become worse, it is advisable to contact a pediatrician for more assistance.
