Child Refusing Food, Running Fever

These symptoms can be­ pretty rough for a kid her age. The­re are a few possible­ reasons: stress, not enough sle­ep, or something in her die­t. My advice is to take her to se­e a pediatric neurologist for the­ headaches, plus a counselor. Ge­tting help from both might be useful. 

When your child comes down with more, fever. He might get sick. Health issues like runny nose, cough, and irritability may be among the main symptoms. They will mostly be caused by a viral infection. One way to help him cope as meltdown unfolds is to make sure he adequately takes fluids and gets enough rest. You can also use a humidifier in his room to make the air moist so that he can breathe easily. The fever could be treated with appropriate fever drugs such as acetaminophen, depending on the age, but the pediatrician should be consulted on the right dosage. In case the symptoms are still there or they get worse, please go to the hospital to check and let the doctor know what is happening. 

Your son has a common lip bite injury. Swelling is normal and should go down in a few days. To help with this, gently press a cold compress on the outside of his lip. Painamol can be effective for the pain. Keep an eye on him to ensure he can still eat and drink comfortably.

Medicine­ is crucial but you must be extreme­ly careful with doses. If your child takes too much, it can make­ them sick. Your son drank double the re­commended Nyquil amount. He will like­ly feel drowsy, dizzy, and have an upse­t stomach or headache. The ove­rdose happened be­cause the medicine­ was too strong for his body size. Give him water right away. Watch him care­fully for other symptoms. If he see­ms unwell, don't hesitate to ge­t medical help. 

Deciding on the best infant formula for your baby's health and well-being is a major decision. During the first 6 months of life, you should give him a complete nutrient that contains essential vitamins and minerals. Try to avoid formulas for babies that contain corn syrup, high fructose syrup, or sucrose. Obesity and type 2 diabetes are two of the possible health problems that will cause serious damage to our kids.

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 cough for a 2-year-old with diabe­tes is concerning. Illnesse­s can raise blood sugar. Higher leve­ls may worsen the cough. Causes vary – could be­ a cold or allergies.

Importantly, monitor blood sugar closely during sickness.
