A mild fever can be common in young children, often indicating a viral infection. Ensure she stays hydrated and comfortable. You may use acetaminophen or ibuprofen, following the appropriate dosage for her age, to help reduce fever and ease discomfort. If her fever persists beyond three days or worsens, or if she shows signs of difficulty breathing, extreme lethargy, or dehydration, please seek medical attention promptly. In a foreign country, it's always wise to consult a local pediatrician if you're uncertain.

Sir a 8 month old little boy superior labilial frenkum break
Male | 8 month
Labial frenulum is the piece of tissue between the lips and the gums which is a little bit of skin. The symptoms can be pain and swelling. If there is too much pressure on it, this can occur. The dentist or the ENT doctor should check the baby. They can allow the skin to recover by itself or recommend a minor surgical procedure to assist in proper healing.

The baby is 3 years old…he walked all the way back from church and all of a sudden can’t seem to stand placing his hands on his knees crying
Male | 3
Kids sometimes grow fast. During this, leg muscles can't stretch enough. This causes Osgood-Schlatter disease near the knees. Pain strikes after lots of walking or running. Recommend that the child take breaks, put ice packs on knees, and take acetaminophen pills. If the agony continues, visit a pediatrician soon. They'll examine and advise further treatment if required.

I want to know about pediatric dermatologist,my 3 and half year old grandson having Alopecia Aereta, he is downsyndrom boy
Male | 3
Your grandson suffers from Alopecia Areata. Hair falls out in circular bald patches. It can impact eyebrows or lashes too. It's harmless but visually concerning. Usually, it occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles. But the good news is, hair often regrows naturally over time. To aid regrowth, dermatologists may prescribe steroid injections or creams. Consult a pediatric dermatologist for guidance and optimal treatment options.

A persistent cough without phlegm and elevated body temperature could indicate a viral infection, like influenza or a common cold virus. Ensure that she consumes ample fluids and gets sufficient rest. If necessary, administer children's fever-reducing medication, carefully following age-appropriate dosage instructions. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical evaluation.

Male | 0
In children, any fever above 100 degrees Fahrenheit should be investigated. It might mean there’s an infection present. It’s important to go through the blood test report for any indications of an infection. The most likely causes are respiratory or urinary tract infections. After you get the results, make sure you book another appointment with a pediatrician so that they can recommend the right treatment.

Kids often have abundant energy, appearing hyperactive. Hyperactivity manifests as restlessness, distractibility, or excessive talkativeness. Genetics or environment can contribute to this.

My baby is 3 months old and had a fall from bed 16 inch height. Should I consult a doctor ?

Sixteen inches is not high but keep an eye out. Your baby may cry hard, sleep much, vomit, or act strange. These signs mean check with a pediatrician right away. Continuous crying, sleepiness, throwing up, or odd behaviors after a fall need medical attention.

My son 1.5 years old but his penis is always inside and his testicles are very small even today I pressed his testicles there were no balls, I am worried about his health please help me out thanks
Male | 1.5
If you're concerned about your 1.5 year old son's genital development, it's essential to consult a pediatrician or pediatric urologist for an evaluation. Small or retracting testicles may be normal in some cases, but it's crucial to rule out conditions like undescended testicles or hernias.

I'm just concerned about my 21 month old son. He has had diarrhea today the second bowel movement I noticed a small streak of blood. He hasn't had blood anymore but he has diarrhea. He's eating normally and acting normally no fever. It doesn't have a foul smell, it smells sweet and mucusy. What's wrong with him? We have to leave tomorrow for a family trip? Should I cancel? Is he sick?
Male | 2
It's understandable to be concerned about your son's symptoms. Diarrhea with a small streak of blood could be due to a minor irritation or infection. Since he is eating and acting normally without a fever, it might not be serious, but it's best to consult a pediatrician to ensure he's okay.

My wife breastfeeds my son is 1 year and 2 months old can she take a 5 mg clonazepam tablet just one day once is it harmful in the same way???
Female | 20
Clonazepam gets into breast milk, potentially harming babies. Avoiding its use during breastfeeding, mainly without medical guidance, proves crucial. Infants might experience drowsiness, breathing difficulties, and additional side effects due to Clonazepam. Before consuming any medication while nursing, consulting a doctor seems advisable for your wife's well-being.

He been ill last night and didn’t go school Today and been coughing aswell
Male | 13
To have worries when someone is sick is a very normal thing. Conditions like colds, which may come with symptoms such as a sore throat and fatigue, could be the reason for the infection, both the common ones and the mild ones. The best cure for it is rest, water, and a diet that provides relevant nutrients. Using a humidifier will savvily ease coughing. If the symptoms do not go or get worse with some other problem, it is reasonable to discuss this health issue with a pediatrician.

Can we take cetrizine and amydramine at same time My daughter had those both on time . She is 6years old
Female | 6
Cetrizine treats allergies. Amitriptyline helps with conditions like depression. Kids shouldn't take them together though. The mix could make them feel sleepy, confused, and have a fast heartbeat. Talk to your doctor instead of mixing these medicines for your daughter.

Male | 3
Your son's high fever and cough for 4 days is understandable. The blood test shows inflammation or infection. This could be bacterial, causing the fever and cough. The doctor advised an X-ray to identify the issue. Antibiotics may help treat infection. Ensure your son rests well, drinks enough fluids, and takes medicines as prescribed by a pediatrician.

My baby girl is of 2 months and i want to leave a formula milk and want to start a cow milk can i do this and there is no any side effect of this milk?
Female | 2
At two months old, babies should be fed only breastmilk or formula. Cow milk can be too much for their stomachs, resulting in problems such as stomach pains and anaemia. It is important to consult with the pediatrician before making any changes.

My 10 month old daughter poops after every feed..wether I give her milk or banana or cerelac...she poops after eating or drinking anything...pls suggest something
Female | 10 month old
It's usual for newborns to poop after eating, yet a consistent movement with a loose or watery content could indicate a sensitive stomach. The probable cause of this might be a certain food in its diet that is not serving well to her. Your food diary can point you in the right direction by showing you the link between her reaction to food and food consumption. It will be worthwhile to discuss this with a pediatrician, who will reassure you about its healthiness and help you figure out ways to get rid of it if there is any malaise. Make sure your child gets enough fluids and give her foods that are easy on the stomach, such as rice and bananas.
