Will my 2-year-old son with autism improve mentally?
My 2 years old son is diagnosed with autism. He doesn't speak a single word. He has a poor eye contact. He doesn't understand what we say to him. However he responds to us. Will he be mentally disabled? Or will improve in future?
General Physician
Answered on 26th Sept '24
Children with autism may have delayed speech development, often avoid eye contact, and struggle with comprehension. Not speaking by age 2 could be a warning sign. However, this doesn't mean they will have a lifelong disability. Early intervention, like speech and behavior therapy, can significantly improve their condition.

I am a parent of 2 and half year old son.. i accidentally put fenlong in my baby's ear thought of ear drops.. pls do reply.. I am very much worried
Male | 2
I get why you're worried as a parent here. Putting things besides ear drops in the ear isn't good. Watch for signs like pain, redness, irritation, or hearing issues. If your child has any of those, take them to the doctor to get checked and treated right.

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.

Hello , My baby is 2 and a half month now. Our pediatrician recommended me to give formula milk for 2 days saying that due to breastfeeding my baby is getting gas. Should I give him formula. From another BEMS doctor always suggest me only breast milk should be given to baby.
Male | 2.5 months
Gas is a common occurrence in babies and can make them quite irritable. When eating, they may swallow air or break down certain nutrients found in breast milk, causing it. To release trapped air more frequently during feeding, try burping your baby often. Additionally, tender tummy massages could also provide relief from gas. If you can, stick with breastfeeding since it’s the best for your baby’s well-being; however, you might want to consider speaking to a pediatrician for further advice.

My newborn has crp level of 39 .After 2 days of antibiotics it decreased to 18. But after another 4 days no changes .it remains 18 only. Is this something to worry about or are Antibiotics are not working anymore
Female | 5 days
Having a CRP level of 18 when a baby is born could mean an infection exists. The antibiotics helped lower it initially, that's good. But if it stays unchanged after more days, we may need to check if the antibiotics are still working properly. Contact your pediatrician if the baby develops fever, gets fussy, struggles with feeding, or has breathing issues. They can guide you on what to do next.

My son 3.7 yars old from last 1 days i notice hi was take long breath after 1 and 2 minutes. And he have some autism problem from last 2yrs but now no any autism problem seen after giving proper guide and attension So i have need to know is this normal in child
Male | 3.7 years
You are doing well by noticing that your son is changing. The need for breathing exercises comes from very different things. Children may experience just like in the case when they are thrilled, angry, or sick. Long breaths don't usually come from autism, so it's a positive thing his symptoms have improved. Try it, but if you're still worried, go to a pediatrician first so they can rule out anything serious.

Dr Rathi sir, do you treat snoring problem in children?
Male | 7
Snoring is the medical term for making a noise while breathing during sleep. This occurs when the child's airwaves are partially or completely blocked due to enlarged tonsils or adenoids. And this might cause the child some hardship in the process of their breath. The removal of the tonsils or adenoids can help them to stop snoring and sleep better. It's a good idea to take your kid to the doctor to find the right way to solve his problem.

Male | 1 month
It seems like the kid is constipated. This is when they find it hard to pass stool. It may be due to the type of formula they are taking or insufficient intake of fluids. You can give them some water in between feeds or massage their stomach gently to relieve the discomfort. If it persists, it would be best for you to take them to a doctor who can check for any underlying problems.

1 year and half baby girl always crossing her legs and wriggles her waist sympee
Female | 2
It is not uncommon for babies to move in various ways as they develop. Occasionally, babies may cross their legs and wiggle excessively. The reason for this is that they are usually discovering different body movements. If you have a healthy and happy baby, there should be no reason for you to be worried. Nevertheless, if you find any bizarre symptoms in your baby or your baby seems to be uncomfortable, consulting a pediatrician would be a great idea to be sure that everything is alright.

Female | 7
Your daughter's fever, rash, throat pain, cough, and headache suggest a viral illness, possibly influenza. Dehydration causes yellow urine. Ensure she consumes ample fluids and rests well. Administer fever-reducing medicines if necessary. However, seek medical evaluation if symptoms worsen or don't improve, as viruses can sometimes lead to complications.
