Your baby’s weight gain is an important indicator of his growth, and at 6 kg, he is within a healthy range for his age. It’s common for infants to go a few days without bowel movements, especially when transitioning to solids. Ensure he stays hydrated and receives a varied diet beyond ragi, introducing fruits and vegetables gradually. Monitor his overall mood and energy levels. If you have concerns about his growth or bowel habits, consulting your pediatrician can provide personalized guidance and reassurance.

My baby lick detol. She is active after that she drink milk and water
Female | 1
If your baby has licked Dettol, it's important to keep an eye on her for any signs of discomfort or illness. Since she is active and has taken milk and water, it may be okay, but you should still consult a pediatrician immediately to ensure there are no adverse effects.

My 22 Months old baby boy have minor blood spot in potty. Is this harmfull?
Male | 22 Months
This can happen for a few things. He might have pooped hard and that caused some very small cuts. Or he could have a minor sickness. Make sure he drinks lots of water. Give him food with lots of fiber like apples and carrots. If the blood spots do not go away soon, or if he acts sick, take him to see a pediatrician.

My daughter by name Bhuvi is 1year 10months old.She drinks only Cow’s milk.She doesn’t eat anything.She drinks around 1litre of milk every day and this has become her Main food.To make her eat food i used to give her variety of foods and give milk only two times during night for 12days.She used to eat very little and drink milk whatever I gave.But she became very weak and lost some weight.She had less energy.There was no improvement in eating food so what should I do now?
Female | 2
Weakness and weight loss in her mean that she is not doing well. Such a restricted diet has caused her to be deficient in necessary nutrients.You could support her in eating by simply making each meal more exciting for her through the introduction of bright, small, and delicious foods. If the issue persists, visiting a pediatrician would be beneficial for further evaluation and guidance.

Cough and fever is now 102 and I give him ogmentine reltis and calpol
Male | 6year and 7 month
An indication of coughing and high temperature can be one of various disorders, typically connected with the viral infections or, rarely, with the bacterial ones. Even though medicines such as Augment and Calpol can give relief from symptoms, it is crucial to observe the overall health of your child. Make sure to keep them hydrated and they get enough sleep. Should the fever not go awayor get worse, or new symptoms appear consult your healthcare professional, so he can make a complete assessment.

Female | 2
When the body fights an infection, fever can occur. Signs that may point to a serious infection are vomiting and high fever. The injection given at the hospital may require time before its effects are seen. It's important to keep her hydrated and try cooling methods. If the fever persists, further doctor evaluation may be needed..

My baby boy is 31 months old and he didn't talking still... That's express his needs with signs only ...what is the the problem?
Male | 31 months
When a child does not talk, especially when he or she is already 31 months old, a parent needs to respond to this issue immediately. It may be an early sign of a speech delay. Sometimes, hearing trouble or a delay in development could be the cause. The most effective way is through speech therapist intervention which may mean providing strategies to improve your child's language skills.

Hello my baby is 7 months old n has a stuffy nose also has gur gur sound while breathing through nose. What could be the problem? What is the solution?
Male | 7 months
Your baby probably has a common cold or a viral infection. The stuffy nose and sound while breathing could be due to congestion. Make sure to hydrate your baby sufficiently and then use a bulb syringe to suck out the mucus. Alternatively, you may run a humidifier to help loosen congestion. Be vigilant regarding your baby's temperature, and if you observe any symptoms of a fever or difficulty breathing, consult a pediatrician.

Male | 5
This is common during the recovery period as the inner muscles are still healing. Eating soft, easy-to-digest foods can help. In most cases, surgery is needed. Support his recovery with a bland diet while his body heals.

My son se 8 year old he has 3 tablets of Imodium know he was breathing very heavyly and some time he was perfectly alright plz help me
Male | 8
This can be caused by the fact that Imodium may slow down your son's metabolic function. When he is breathing heavily, he is essentially trying to increase the oxygen flow to his body. Please do not give him extra Imodium. Likewise, keep an eye on him to see if he goes back to breathing normally again. If he keeps on having breathing issues, it is necessary to visit a pediatrician.

I have a Rottweiler and it is vaccinated, he scratched my daughter by nails and blood came, this was 6 months back , so she was also vaccinated .....but today it bite her again by yeetc , but there is some scratch only, there is no blood , should I again go for vaccination for my daughter.
Female | 4
Your daughter and your pet have been vaccinated so the chances of a serious infection are low. Watch out for any redness, swelling, or pain in the scratch. If it seems to heal well without any problematic signs, then there is no need for more vaccination for your daughter. Make sure that the wound is kept clean and observe any changes.

Male | 7
It sounds like your child might be experiencing night terrors, which are common in young children. They usually don't remember the episode in the morning. It's best to consult a pediatrician for a proper evaluation and advice on managing this condition.

Body Weakness fro my child
Female | 11
Kids may feel weak sometimes. Not getting proper nutrition from healthy food choices is one cause. Inadequate sleep or high-stress levels also contribute to weakness. Ensuring they follow a balanced diet, get sufficient rest, and manage stress helps increase energy levels. However, if weakness persists despite these measures, seeking medical advice from a pediatrician becomes necessary to identify and address any underlying issues.

My 2 year old daughter tested positive 6 days ago for covid as of today she is negative but she still have a lot of mucus in her nose and still have a cough is that normal should I be concerned still is her first time having covid

Lingering symptoms happen after recovery. Her body clears infection leftovers. Keep hydrating her. Use a humidifier, saline drops for mucus relief. Ensure she's comfy. Monitor breathing issues; seek help if worsening. Otherwise, she'll recover gradually.
