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.

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?

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!

I'm reaching out to request assistance in issuing an MMR vaccination certificate indicating two doses received in childhood, with dates. Unfortunately, my original records are unretrievable, but I do have IGG test results confirming past immunity. This is solely for admission for MS purpose. Could you please help?

Male | 23

The MMR vaccine prevents three serious diseases measles, mumps, and rubella, thus it is of great essentiality. If you are very sure that you received 2 doses in childhood but you don't have the records and your IGG test shows that you are immune, that is good. You must get a certificate for your admission to the MS program. The doctor will be able to obtain the necessary certificate by reviewing the test results and your medical history.

Can a little boy can eat egg if he is suffering from urine infection or release blood after unine

Male | 6

Young boys with urinary tract infections or he­maturia should avoid eggs. Egg consumption aggravates bladder irritation, and worse­ning symptoms. The signs include pain during urination, freque­nt bathroom trips, and pinkish-reddish urine. Hydration and fruits/veggie­s aid recovery, helping the­ body combat the infection. Symptoms like painful urination, incre­ased urinary frequency, and discolore­d urine indicate the condition. .
