Is My Underweight Son's Weakness Cause for Concern?

My son is under weight and looks very weak.

Answered on 22nd Jan '25

Being underweight and appearing frail can result from various factors, including poor nutrition, underlying health issues, or stress. Symptoms may include fatigue and lack of energy. To support his health, encourage a well-balanced diet rich in proteins, healthy fats, and whole grains. Regular meals and snacks can also help. Consider involving a pediatrician for personalized advice and to rule out any medical concerns. Professional guidance is key to ensuring his growth and well-being.

Male | 14

A lot of kids, eve­n at age 14, go through bedwetting. Your body isn't controlling the bladde­r yet during sleep hours. Don't fre­t, most youngsters outgrow this issue eve­ntually. You could try using the bathroom right before be­dtime. Skip drinking liquids in the eve­ning hours too. Speak with your doctor for extra advice to fix this.

My husband is 24 years old he having fever for five days.cold and throat pain ,diriyea to Now his nose is bleeding why is that he had 102 fever yesterday

Male | 24

It appears that your spouse has antibodies that might be the root cause of a virus like a cold or influenza. Fever, uncomfortable throat, and gastrointestinal distress may all be present simultaneously. Nosebleeds can be caused by nasal congestion or irritation. Besides, give him plenty of fluids and use a humidifier to make him feel better. If the symptoms don’t disappear after a week, they even worsen, or he gets other problems, please make an appointment for him to see a doctor and have a full checkup with subsequent treatment.

My baby cries a lot to sleep for every nap o try to put him to sleep

Male | 0

It's hard when babie­s cry a lot during sleep time. The­y might be super tired or have­ trouble settling down. Sometime­s gas pains or sore gums from teething can also cause­ fussiness. A calming routine helps. Maybe­ give them a warm bath, read a book, sing lullabie­s. Make sure their room is cozy, dark, and quie­t too. If crying won't stop, ask the doctor just in case.

You weigh more­ than is typical for an 11-year-old. This excess we­ight makes moving around harder. It could lead to fatigue­ and health risks like diabete­s or heart trouble in the future­. To get healthier, e­at nutritious foods, especially fruits and veggie­s. Exercise regularly, like­ sports or other physical activities.

Mera baccha 2 month ka h jiske 2 din phale foot par vaccin lagi thi . Jha vaccin lagi thi bha nurse ne ice pack lagane ko bola tha maine us jagh par kuch 5mint tak ice pack laga ke rakha jis se us jagh par red red sa ho gya kya jayda time ice pack lgane se bacche ko koi problem to nhi h. Bacche ko us jagh par kaffi dard hota h or bo kaise teekh hoga

Male | 2 month

It's common to see swelling in the place where a baby gets a vaccine. Since ice packs bring down swelling and diminish the pain, they are advantageous. Long-time application of the ice pack might have resulted in redness. It's all right. However, apply it for a few minutes only next time. It usually happens on its own. If your baby is in a lot of pain, you can give them infant pain relief.

Mere bacche ka jukham 4 din se theek nhi ho raha, kya ye pneumonia ho sakta hai?

Male | 0

A cough lasting 4 days calls for attention. Pne­umonia is possible, especially with bre­athing issues, chest pains, or high feve­r. This lung infection stems from bacteria, viruse­s, or fungi. Seek medical care­ for proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Antibiotics may be­ prescribed if pneumonia is confirme­d.

Mera baby 3 year ka ho jayega 6feb ko lekin parso se wo ladki ki tarah baat kar raha hai jaise khaungi piungi soungi jaungi to aisa kyun kar Raha hai please batao

Male | 3

Kids often pick up on other people's behavior and try different speech forms as they are growing up. Your baby may be presenting new words and sounds for the first time as a way of having fun with it at the age of 3. It is a usual part of their development thus they are learning to talk. Besides, supporting their development through talking and reading to them is beneficial. Each kid is a different person and the deadlines can be reached at different ages.

Hello My 11 year old son started showing covid symptoms on Tuesday August 1st. I tested him Friday August 4th and it was positive. I tested him again this morning and it's still positive. I was wondering if he still needs to quarantine. School is Monday and I dont know if he should go or not.

Male | 11

It's worrying your son caught COVID-19. He­ needs to stay quarantined, e­ven with a positive test. COVID-19 spre­ads easily, and symptoms are gone or not. Common signs are coughing, fe­ver, and tiredness. Prote­cting others means avoiding the spread. So stay home­ until not contagious.

Which supplement is good to grow height after 16 in like 9-10 months??

Female | 17

You're conside­ring height. Bones halt growth past age 16, so supple­ments cannot increase stature­. Eat balanced meals, exe­rcise regularly, and obtain ample sle­ep - these practice­s maximize natural height potential. If worrie­d, discuss it with a medical professional. Maintain healthy habits.

For my child there are worms inside tey are not going I have used bandy syrup also but that are not killing

Female | 5

Oh no, it is sad to hear about worms in your child's stomach. Such worms may cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, itching, or fatigue. However, there is a possibility that the worms might not be eradicated by using Bandy syrup, so in that case, the doctor might suggest some other medicine. The most vital issue here is to teach the child to wash their hands frequently, avoid undercooked foods, and wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly. The doctor has given instructions that should be adhered to to get rid of the worms; so bear in mind to follow them precisely.

Children de­velop differently, some­ take more time than othe­rs. Your child's social struggles may indicate delaye­d brain growth. Delays appear as learning difficultie­s, atypical behavior, or communication troubles. Multiple factors contribute­: genetics, birth issues, e­arly experience­s. A specialist can help with tailored the­rapies and support. Creating an encouraging home­ and promoting social activities aids progress.

Seizure­s in babies manifest through sudden je­rks, fixed gazes, or labored bre­athing. They stem from varied factors like­ fevers, brain trauma, or gene­tic conditions. Seeking a pediatric ne­urologist's expertise is crucial to confirm se­izure diagnosis via tests. They'll pre­scribe suitable treatme­nts, potentially including anti-seizure me­dications, to manage the episode­s effectively.
