It's important to understand that a person's external appearance doesn't always reflect their actual weight. Often, excess weight can be hidden within the body, which may result from a lack of physical activity or consuming unhealthy foods. This hidden weight can lead to issues like fatigue, breathing difficulties, or joint pain. To address this, it's advisable to eat healthy foods, stay active, and consult a doctor for guidance.

Two children fought and one chil cut finger of another than he need to be vaccinated.
Male | 11
Cuts may lead to infections, so check if the injured child is up-to-date with their tetanus shot. Tetanus is a germ that enters through cuts, causing stiff, spasming muscles. The vaccine helps fight this germ off. Check if the cut child is protected against tetanus. If not, get them vaccinated to prevent infections or issues.

I have a 1 year old with RSV and her oxygen level is siting at 91% should I be concerned. It dropped to 87% for a split second then shot back up to 91%. She is breathing 26 breathes per minute.
Female | 1
A 91% oxygen level is slightly low for a one-year-old with RSV. This virus makes breathing harder for babies. The dropping oxygen shows her lungs are struggling. Watch her closely to ensure she's comfortable. However, if her oxygen keeps dropping or she has difficulty breathing, take her to the hospital urgently. Ensure she drinks lots of fluids and rests.

I AM YEAR OLD GIRL. MY WEIGHT IS 17.9 KG AND MY HEIGHT IS 121 CM. MY HEIGHT AND WEIGHT NOT GROWING WELL AS WELL AS I DO NOT HAVE SO MUCH HUNGRY. I FEEL TO SLEEPY AT 8 P.M EVERYDAY SO I CAN NOT CONTINUE MY STUDY AT NIGHT.
Female | 9
My concern is coming from the fact that you get tired quite early, say at 8 p.m., have no appetite at all, and seem to have stopped adding weight and becoming taller. These signs could be caused by things like lack of proper nutrients or a sickness. Therefore, you should share this information with a responsible grown-up – maybe a family member or your teacher – so that they assist you in getting medical attention. A doctor will examine you to find out what is wrong and give you the necessary treatment.

My baby got pee’s problem in this few days cause before this he will pee full of diapers every 6-8 hours..but this 2-3 days no pee’s at all got just few drops..dont want to drink milk always crying a day and night..how can i solve this problem?
Male | 2
Your baby's trouble peeing is worrying. Infrequent, small puddles aren't normal. Dehydration or infection could explain it. Few wet diapers raise red flags for babies. Even if reluctant, keep giving milk and water often. Have a pediatrician examine the issue promptly.

How can i relieve my baby from colic pain and gas. I give him colimex drops but are of no use.
Male | 2.5 months
Babies can get colic and gas. Colic is when babies cry intensely. Gas makes babies uncomfortable. It happens when they swallow air while feeding. Or, they have a sensitive tummy. Try massaging their stomach gently. Burp them frequently during feedings too. Keep their surroundings quiet and calm. Don't overfeed them quickly. Keep them upright after feedings. Warm baths and gentle rocking might help soothe them too. With these tips, your baby should feel better soon.

Regarding Ames squint-eye, the treatment is still in progress. The use of glasses is widespread and it is crucial to have her sight checked frequently.

My baby has tongue tie problem
Female | 2
Tongue tie happens when a baby's tongue is held down by a small piece of tissue. Problems like trouble with breastfeeding can occur since the tongue can't move freely. This issue develops if the tissue restricting the tongue is too short. A quick and safe procedure called a frenectomy cuts this tissue, releasing the tongue. Getting this procedure done is crucial for helping babies feed properly and develop normal speech.

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.
