Answered on 27th June '24
Your kid is dealing with fever and pain. They're on paracetamol every six hours. Follow the dosage as instructed. Too much medication can harm. Should you wake your sleeping child for medicine? If they're resting well, let them sleep. Sleep aids healing. No need to disturb good rest. Keep giving meds per doctor's orders.

Hi doctor. My baby gets cold often while ac is on but if I switch it off he sweats so much and never sleeps. He starts crying. I don’t know what to do . Please help. Thank you.
Male | 1
The situation with your baby seems to involve regulating body heat. With AC on, your little one feels cold. Without AC, they get sweaty. This happens because babies' sweat glands aren't fully developed yet. So their bodies struggle to control their temperature. To help, dress your baby in layers that are easy to remove. Keep the room around 68-72°F. A small fan can gently circulate air without making it too breezy or cold. These simple adjustments should help your baby stay comfortable and sleep soundly.

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.

Female | 15
You have a fast heart rate, breathing difficulty, shoulder pain, and shaking. These could indicate something serious at your age. Heart problems or anxiety may cause such symptoms. It's crucial to seek immediate help, like going to the ER. Doctors can determine the cause and help you recover.

My 14 month old son developed a red nipple last Saturday. Since then the redness has gone down. However still a noticable difference from the other nipple. It is also going inverted and coming back out. He was not born with inverted nipples.
Male | 14 month
It is great that differences have been spotted in your son's nipple. This could be due to moments of redness and inversions whenever irritations or infections set in. It is quite necessary to stick around. If the condition persists or grows more severe, the best alternative would be to seek further evaluation and advice from a pediatrician.

Hi. I've a question regarding my niece's skin problem. She is a 7-years old. She has developed red patches of skin on her cheek, chin and around nose. The affected area of her cheek is very dry. I brought her to a doctor who prescribed two creams, mezoderm(betamethasone) and gentamicin-akos which made things far worse. Then at the pharmacy I was advised to use ftorokart(also a cream with triamcinolone) for my niece's face. After a few uses of the cream, I've seen some noticeable improvement in her skin condition since she started to use it. It took the redness out of her nose. But she still has rash and blisters on her face. I took photos of her face in case it might be helpful for you to identify the reason for her skin condition. Here are the photos of hers: https://ibb.co/q9t8bSL https://ibb.co/Q8rqcr1 https://ibb.co/JppswZw https://ibb.co/Hd9LPkZ Would you mind helping us to identify what caused this skin condition?

According to the symptoms and signs described, it appears to be a case of atopic dermatitis which is common among children of the mentioned age. It is a condition where the skin barrier is disturbed and is extremely sensitive to external environmental triggers like cold and dry weather, dust etc. It presents as red dry itchy patches on cheeks, hands and legs sometimes whole body. The above mentioned creams contain topical corticosteroids which are to be used with a great caution under the supervision of Dermatologist. Good barrier repairing creams including emollients with squalene, ceramides etc can help reviving the skin barrier. Steroid sparing drugs can be prescribed to manage the rash. Please consult a qualified Dermatologist and do not use topical corticosteroids without doctor’s advice as it may cause many adverse effects.

When baby formula poops look muddy, it might signal constipation. This happens when poop stays too long in the intestines. Not enough water or concentrated formula could be the cause. Try giving water between feedings or ask the doctor about adjusting the formula. This should help the baby poop comfortably!

Hi. My son has dry cough. In morning I gave him dry syrup by mistake which was made 1 month ago. And its expiry date is 2024.is there any side effects of this?
Male | 6
If your child swallowed dry syrup prepared last month, yet unexpired, it's typically harmless. Expired medications might gradually diminish efficacy but rarely induce illness. Unless your son exhibits nausea, vomiting, rash, or other abnormal symptoms, he'll likely remain unaffected. Monitor him and consult a pediatrician promptly if any concerning signs arise.

In some situations, consuming one could lead to tummy troubles, puking, or diarrhea. Monitor your baby closely for any odd signs. Usually, the body will flush it out naturally. However, if severe symptoms arise or their behavior seems off, don't hesitate to call a pediatrician.

Your baby girl of 2.5 months coughs and has thick mucus. Perhaps she has a cold or respiratory infection. Offer liquids to keep her hydrated. Cool-mist humidifiers can help. Use a nasal suction bulb gently on her nose. Seek a pediatrician immediately if she has fever or breathes hard.

Sometimes babies struggle with digesting mom's milk correctly. Black poop and weakness could signal trouble. Maybe an infection or food intolerance. Try giving smaller, more frequent feedings. If other symptoms show up, seek medical advice. Definitely tell your pediatrician if this issue persists. They can guide next steps.

Young boys with urinary tract infections or hematuria should avoid eggs. Egg consumption aggravates bladder irritation, and worsening symptoms.
