Answered on 28th June '24
Kids deal with coughing and colds differently. Typical signs include a drippy nose, sneezing fits, and lingering cough. Viruses spread easily, causing these issues. Make sure your kiddo drinks enough liquids, rests well, and uses a humidifier to alleviate coughing. You could offer honey as well. If your child appears very ill or struggles breathing, seek medical attention promptly.

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.

Your baby boy likely has a pancreatic duct stricture. In simple terms, this means part of his pancreas tube is narrowed. Symptoms like tummy pain or eating troubles can occur. It may be from a birth issue or past inflammation causing the narrowing. Surgery might be needed if it causes major problems. Your best approach is to discuss it with your pediatrician to decide the proper plan.

Male | 3
Kids often struggle to speak at 3 years old. But, if your child tries and doesn't improve, you should act. This may mean a speech delay. Causes could be hearing issues or development problems. I'd suggest an expert checks your child, like a speech therapist or pediatrician. They'll figure out the best way to boost speech skills.

My daughter turned 8y a day back. She was a low birth weight kid. Currently she is 16kg, 110.4cm. No endocrine or any health issues. Very active n fine. Pls suggest some supplement to increase height and weight.
Female | 8
Here are some tips for helping your child grow taller and gain weight. Make sure they get different nutrients by eating many kinds of food – not just junk! Specifically, things with protein like milk or eggs; also foods high in calcium (like broccoli) and vitamin D (like salmon). Get them moving often with things other than walking too- muscle strength is important! Enough sleep each night will help their bodies grow well too.

If my son is sick and he was around another sick child that probably has the same cold he has and they started something can my child get worse
Male | 3
Catching a cold is likely if exposed to someone who's sick. Colds come from viruses - tiny germs. Symptoms may include coughing, sneezing, runny nose, fever sometimes. To help your son recover, ensure he rests well, drinks plenty of fluids, and takes over-the-counter medicine if required.

My child got vaccinated and got swelling on injected area ..what should i understand by this that vaccination is done properly or not and how should i treat my child to get rid of pain and swelling.
Male | 5
Swelling, and pain at the injection area - this is normal for kids after vaccination. The body responds by building immunity. Cold packs soothe discomfort; acetaminophen helps too. Persistent swelling warrants checking with the doctor. But generally, these reactions indicate the vaccine is working as intended.

I think my baby has seizures
Female | 0
Seizures in babies manifest through sudden jerks, fixed gazes, or labored breathing. They stem from varied factors like fevers, brain trauma, or genetic conditions. Seeking a pediatric neurologist's expertise is crucial to confirm seizure diagnosis via tests. They'll prescribe suitable treatments, potentially including anti-seizure medications, to manage the episodes effectively.

My one month daughter struggles with constipation and reflux and but constantly groans and moans all the time. Even when she's sleeping she constantly brings her feet up and moves around. She also cries a lot like she's in a lot of discomfort. Her moaning is persistent and if she goes quiet she squeaks really loud like she's struggling to breath.
Female | 1 month
When a baby moans and groans, it could indicate gastroesophageal reflux. This condition involves stomach contents traveling up the esophagus. You may notice crying, struggling to breathe, and general discomfort. Consult your pediatrician regarding potential treatments.

When the body fights an infection, fever can occur. Signs that may point to a serious infection are vomiting and high fever. The injection given at the hospital may require time before its effects are seen. It's important to keep her hydrated and try cooling methods. If the fever persists, further doctor evaluation may be needed..

foaming while sleeping for my 3 year old
Female | 3
Foaming during slumber for a 3-year-old could stem from excess drooling. This occurrence is typical as teeth develop. At times, it may resemble foam. It doesn't usually signify a severe issue. Ensuring your child's head is slightly elevated while resting might alleviate the situation. Additionally, utilizing a soft pillowcase may absorb the drool. However, if your child exhibits breathing difficulties or persistent coughing, seeking medical attention is advisable.

Hello My 11 year old son started showing covid symptoms on Tuesday August 1st. I tested him Friday August 4th and it was positive. I tested him again this morning and it's still positive. I was wondering if he still needs to quarantine. School is Monday and I dont know if he should go or not.
Male | 11
It's worrying your son caught COVID-19. He needs to stay quarantined, even with a positive test. COVID-19 spreads easily, and symptoms are gone or not. Common signs are coughing, fever, and tiredness. Protecting others means avoiding the spread. So stay home until not contagious.

Fever 100.03 give dolo Cyrup before one hour
Male | 1
Your temperature being slightly high at 100.03°F indicates a fever. An infection, perhaps the flu or a cold, could cause this elevated body heat. To alleviate the symptoms, consider taking dolo syrup. This medication can reduce fever and improve your overall feeling. However, it's crucial to rest adequately, maintain proper hydration by drinking ample fluids, and prioritize comfort during this time. If the fever persists or additional concerning symptoms arise, please visit a pediatrician.

Baby having frequent fever in every 6 hours ,blood report suggest infection higher still in 5th day having fever
Male | 3
Fevers regularly happen in babies. However, lasting 5 days with 6-hour intervals suggests potential issues. Blood reports confirmed an infection presence. While viruses or bacteria could trigger fevers, medical evaluation becomes crucial. Take your baby to a pediatrician promptly. The physician can diagnose and prescribe suitable treatment, helping your little one recover swiftly.

Is it just a viral or periodic fever syndrome because every time pattern and time is same
Female | 2
Based on your description, your daughter may have recurrent fever syndrome. This condition involves frequent episodes of high body temperature occurring in a regular pattern. It can result from various causes, such as infections, inflammation, or genetic factors. Since she also has a sore throat, a viral infection is likely the cause. Ensure she gets plenty of rest, drinks a lot of water, and takes fever-reducing medication if she has a fever. Make an appointment with a pediatrician as soon as possible and get her checked regularly.

My 4 year old has had a stomach flu since Saturday, she was vomiting up until Monday night and has had barely appetite, she is very thirsty even though she stopped vomiting and has been drinking a lot of pedialite and water, no vomiting or diarrhea since Monday night… why is she still so thirsty?????
Female | 4
When someone has stomach flu, their body loses lots of fluids. Even though vomiting ceased, her body might still be trying to regain lost fluids, causing increased thirst. Continue providing Pedialyte and water to help her rehydrate. If she doesn't improve or struggles keeping fluids down, contact a pediatrician.

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.
