It's concerning that a 2-year-old child is not speaking or pointing. This may indicate a delay in speech and social skills development. Additionally, weight gain could be an issue. It is important to consult a pediatrician who specializes in child development.

Consult a child psychologist or pediatrician. Your daughter's aggressive behavior and frequent tantrums may be due to underlying emotional or behavioral issues that need professional evaluation. Early intervention can be very helpful in managing and improving these behaviors.

His height has increased but becoming very lean. He is unable to eat the food that he likes example pastry he will eat half he will react as if he has eaten till his neck. Which specialist should I consult?
Male | 6
Your son seems to have eating troubles after Covid. This issue needs attention. Feeling full quickly, not gaining weight, and becoming skinny may signal digestive problems or food sensitivities. See a pediatric gastroenterologist for diagnosis and treatment plan. You're wise noticing his changed eating habits and seeking help early. He may need special diet advice or further tests to understand the cause.

Eyesight number goes varies time to time but not recovered fully. Suggestions please, I am really worried about her.

Your daughter likely has a clubfoot and a squint that can't be straightened. The fact that her clubfoot was treated at an early stage is a good thing, but the curved fingers may still be present. 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 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.

My son had a bath about 3 hours ago and he’s been coughing and was gagging, almost choking. I want to know what i should do
Male | 1
Your little one's coughing fit after bath time may signal some water got into his airways. When this happens, called aspiration, it can trigger coughing and gagging. Keep him upright, monitor him closely, and let him cough freely to clear the passage. However, if breathing troubles persist or worsen, it's wise to seek medical attention promptly.

My baby boy is 1.1 year old. He swallowed a small wooden piece. Please kindly suggest me what to do.
Male | 1
If your little boy swallowed a small piece of wood and is not showing any symptoms such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, or choking, it can be assumed that he will pass it through his stool without any problems. Just make sure to check his poop to see that the piece comes out. Nonetheless, if he exhibits any signs of distress or if the piece does not pass within a few days, it is advisable to seek medical advice as early as possible.

Lingering symptoms happen after recovery. Her body clears infection leftovers. Keep hydrating her. Use a humidifier, saline drops for mucus relief. Ensure she's comfy. Monitor breathing issues; seek help if worsening. Otherwise, she'll recover gradually.

My 22 Months old baby boy have minor blood spot in potty. Is this harmfull?
Male | 22 Months
This can happen for a few things. He might have pooped hard and that caused some very small cuts. Or he could have a minor sickness. Make sure he drinks lots of water. Give him food with lots of fiber like apples and carrots. If the blood spots do not go away soon, or if he acts sick, take him to see a pediatrician.

I am 12 years old and I am a female who has been having chest pain for at least 2 and a half years now. It has been happening with sharp pains either my left arm or right arm. It hurts very badly and sometimes I feel very sharp pains near the chest area. Though breast pain may not have to do with this but I get it when I'm not on my period or when my period isn't even yet to come. Today I have felt a sharp pain near the breast area , underneath them. The chest pains as well come every so often. There were times were I wasn't able to sleep due to the pain near or on my chest. I have told my parents and seen a doctor once but the doctors said nothing about it at all and only talked about my allergies. So I'm concerned if this is bad because there are times I think I wont be alive by the next day because of the pain. Maybe I am just overthinking but I don't want to not know what's going on. So please answer my concerns if you can.
Female | 12
Chest pain at a young age can be related to various causal factors, such as muscle strain or an anxiety attack. However, there can also be a connection to the sharp pain in the arms. You must see a cardiologist. Next time remember it is vital to point out chest pain including other symptoms. Based on this observation and your results, they may suggest the needed tests.

I have 15 months baby can I use spasan Noel tablet
Female | 22
Giving a 15-month-old baby Spasmonel tablets is dangerous. These pills are not for babies and might bring harm to them. In the case that your baby is having stomach issues or is feeling some kind of discomfort, it's better to use some mild tools such as holding him/her tenderly, giving water, or attempting a warm bath. Get advice from a pediatrician if symptoms do not improve or get worse.

My baby is 48 days old but his umbilical cord is not cure yet ,there is yellow sticky fluid is formed
Male | 48days
The umbilical cord falling off entirely can take time, and this is normal. It's vital to keep it dry and clean. Normally, the yellow sticky liquid you see is a sign that the wound is healing. Use some warm water and a cotton ball to gently clean the area. If it looks red and swollen or has a bad smell, you should consult a doctor. Yet, you should take the necessary precautions and keep the area clean and dry.
