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.

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.

bacha 3 ghante se lgatar ro rha hai
Female | 1 month
The child crying for 3 hours straight is concerning. You checked their needs, but crying persists. Hunger, discomfort, or sickness causes prolonged crying. Ensure they're fed, clean, and comfy. Look for fever, vomiting - signs of illness. If crying won't stop, see a doctor quickly. It's important to find the root cause and address any issues.

Hi there, I just have a quick question that my 13 year old daughter asked me and I wasn’t sure what the answer was
Female | 13
Hiccups happen when the diaphragm muscle below the lungs contracts suddenly. Eating rapidly, carbonated beverages or excitement may trigger hiccups. Typically, hiccups stop by themselves but try deep breathing or sipping water if persistent. Hiccups are little noises our bodies make, sometimes cute. They usually resolve on their own, but lasting ones need attention. Deep breaths help relax the diaphragm, while water soothes throat spasms causing hiccups.

Hello doctor .had doubt on febrile convulsion.my daughter 2 years and 7 months old had febrile convulsion with fever..on March 9.at 2 am..after 35 hours had another one convulsion..after that take frisium 5mg tablet with doctor consultation..now fever gone ..is it simple or complex seizure convulsion?I had febrile convulsion at age 2 of mine?What could be reasons?
Female | 3
Your girl had seizures caused by fever - febrile convulsions. These simple seizures often last under 15 minutes, don't recur frequently in kids. Family history is common. Fever spikes rapidly increase body temperature, triggering convulsions. Monitor her temperature closely. Follow up with her doctor for proper care.

Being overweight is tough. Too much weight causes diabetes and heart issues. It comes from bad food, no exercise. Help them by adding fruits, and veggies to meals and daily play.

My son don't at all feel hungry and don't eat anything
Male | 7
Kids often refuse food, making parents worry. Your son's lack of appetite could stem from several factors: stress, illness, digestive issues. Ensure he drinks enough water and rests well. If poor appetite persists, consult your doctor. That said, temporary disinterest in eating is normal for children.

Female | 9
Your daughter might be struggling with her height. Missing out on food and going to sleep early could be bad for her health. Kids need to eat well for growth. She could be lacking certain nutrients or having a sleeping pattern that affects how much she eats. You should take her to see a pediatrician who will advise you on proper feeding and healthy practices that help in growing up.

Neck troncesse age 4 yere
Male | 4
A 4-year-old may experience neck stiffness. Poor posture or minor injury strains the neck muscles. Turning the neck becomes difficult. Gentle neck movements help. Apply a warm compress. Give pain relievers if needed. If symptoms persist or worsen, see a pediatrician.

Baby 1.5 years old swallowed a bit of baby powder containing talcum. Does this require emergency?
Female | 1
Babies swallowing baby powder with talcum is common. Usually, it's harmless. Sometimes, it causes coughing or choking briefly. Watch for breathing troubles or stomach issues. Often, no treatment is required. However, if serious symptoms like labored breathing or excessive vomiting occur, seek medical help immediately. In most cases, everything resolves smoothly.

Male | 3
Fevers regularly happen in babies. However, lasting 5 days with 6-hour intervals suggests potential issues. Blood reports confirmed an infection presence. While viruses or bacteria could trigger fevers, medical evaluation becomes crucial. Take your baby to a pediatrician promptly. The physician can diagnose and prescribe suitable treatment, helping your little one recover swiftly.

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.

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.

Hi doctor my son is 3 years old he drank water from handheld water toy is it a problem
Male | 3
A handheld water toy's water shouldn't cause major concern for your son. A little tummy trouble or loose stools may occur - nothing serious. Ensure he drinks plenty of clean water and eats plain foods. However, if severe symptoms arise, like vomiting or fever, consult a pediatrician immediately. For now, monitor him closely, keeping him hydrated.

My baby was born on 15 May 2024 but his oxygen level was very low and he did not even cry. Now he is on ventilator support. It has been 5 days. Can you tell us whether the health of the baby will improve and what will happen next? What problems will the baby face? And how many days will it take for the baby to become mature?
Male | New born baby
Low levels of oxygen at birth can cause a variety of problems. Ventilation support will be necessary to help the infant breathe. It’s a difficult time but with good care the baby’s condition should improve. There might be complications such as lung issues or delays in development. The baby will need more time to grow and mature than usual – usually about 40 weeks from when they were due for delivery.

Male | 5
I understand your concern about your son's health. Since he has been suffering from typhoid fever for 15 days and is not improving despite medication, it's advisable to follow your doctor's advice for hospital admission. Hospitalization will ensure he receives proper monitoring, intravenous fluids, and medications to fight the infection effectively. Please continue to follow the guidance of the pediatrician or the specialist managing his case.
