Ensure your child hydrates well and sleeps adequately. Medication, like acetaminophen, can reduce a fever. Should symptoms persist or worsen considerably, consult a pediatrician promptly for professional medical advice.

I 27 month old daughters urine has been smelling very strong lately. It has an overpowering smell of bamboo shoots.
Female | 27 months
Kids may sometimes have stinky pee. Some foods and drinks like asparagus make that happen. But if it constantly smells strong like bamboo shoots, it might mean your child has a urinary infection. Look for other signs like fever or pain peeing. Be sure your daughter stays hydrated by drinking plenty of water. And if that funky smell keeps lingering for days, then it's wise to get her checked out by a urologist.

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.

Female | 2
Rashes on an infant's body may result from various factors - allergies, infections, or skin irritants. The itching and crying could indicate discomfort. To provide relief, use gentle products without fragrances, keeping the skin clean and dry. However, if these measures prove ineffective, it's advisable to seek medical advice for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

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.

Today I saw some blood spot on my daughter's underwear she is 12 years old
Female | 12
Blood spots on your daughter's underwear can seem alarming, but it's often straightforward. Around her age, bleeding before periods start is common. It's called menstruation - girls experience it as they grow up. Ensure she knows about pads or tampons for staying fresh during this time.

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.

I advise you to take your child to a doctor. Based on proper evaluation and diagnosis, the doctor will be able to determine whether the problem faced is due some underlying medical issue such as food intolerance, infection or some other reason. Based on that, treatment may be suggested which may include certain dietary and lifestyle changes, medications etc.

Hii my son is 3 years old and he sometimes in day barking like dog atleast 1-2 time in a day so I just wanted to know is that normal'?
Male | 3
Children don't usually bark like dogs. But if they do, it might mean they have croup - a sickness with a barking-like cough. They could also have a runny nose or hoarse voice. When the airways swell, this happens. Giving warm drinks and using a cool mist humidifier helps. But talk to your kid's doctor if it keeps going.

My baby age 25 days old he suffer from cough
Male | 25
Seeing your baby's cough is distressing. Colds or mild infections often cause infant coughing. Babies may also have a runny/stuffy nose. Keep them comfortable, elevating their head for sleeping. Use a bulb syringe to clear nasal congestion. Humidifiers add moisture, easing symptoms. However, if coughing persists or worsens, consult a pediatrician promptly.

My baby is 7 days old girl and she is facing fever 100.6 degree f. And thin potty. What can I do please suggest
Female | 07 days
Fevers in infants can indicate that their bodies are fighting infection while loose stool might signal a problem in the tummy. Ensure she’s getting enough fluids either through breast milk or formula feeding. Dress her lightly and give her a lukewarm bath to reduce the fever. You should also contact a pediatrician for additional advice.

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

Hi. I've a question regarding my niece's skin problem. She is a 7-years old. She has developed red patches of skin on her cheek, chin and around nose. The affected area of her cheek is very dry. I brought her to a doctor who prescribed two creams, mezoderm(betamethasone) and gentamicin-akos which made things far worse. Then at the pharmacy I was advised to use ftorokart(also a cream with triamcinolone) for my niece's face. After a few uses of the cream, I've seen some noticeable improvement in her skin condition since she started to use it. It took the redness out of her nose. But she still has rash and blisters on her face. I took photos of her face in case it might be helpful for you to identify the reason for her skin condition. Here are the photos of hers: https://ibb.co/q9t8bSL https://ibb.co/Q8rqcr1 https://ibb.co/JppswZw https://ibb.co/Hd9LPkZ Would you mind helping us to identify what caused this skin condition?
Female | 7
According to the symptoms and signs described, it appears to be a case of atopic dermatitis which is common among children of the mentioned age. It is a condition where the skin barrier is disturbed and is extremely sensitive to external environmental triggers like cold and dry weather, dust etc. It presents as red dry itchy patches on cheeks, hands and legs sometimes whole body. The above mentioned creams contain topical corticosteroids which are to be used with a great caution under the supervision of Dermatologist. Good barrier repairing creams including emollients with squalene, ceramides etc can help reviving the skin barrier. Steroid sparing drugs can be prescribed to manage the rash. Please consult a qualified Dermatologist and do not use topical corticosteroids without doctor’s advice as it may cause many adverse effects.

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.

This means that the child could have low muscle tone i.e. hypotonia which could be an indication of brain damage. Other examples include delays in learning new tactics and staying strong like rolling and crawling. It's crucial to get a pediatrician's advice to get the optimal treatment
