General Physician
Answered on 4th June '24
Jaundice in babies can occur when their liver is not working properly. This makes their skin and eyes turn yellow. Sometimes it may cause serious liver failure. You need to take your baby to a hepatologist for proper treatment. The physician may prescribe drugs, suggest changes in diet, or severe cases recommend liver transplantation. Ensure you adhere to what the doctor tells you to help your child feel better.

Hello please doctor my baby is sick blood is coming from her nose
Female | 0
Dried-out or irritated blood vessels in noses cause bleeds. Reasons include nose-picking, dry air, or hard sneezes. To stop it, make the baby sit up straight. Use your fingers to gently squeeze the soft part of their nose around ten minutes. Put a cool, damp cloth on their forehead too. If nosebleeds occur a lot, check with a pediatrician. There could be an underlying issue making them happen frequently.

My 3 months old baby having loose motion past 3 days...I visit doctor she gave medicines but not working on her...kindly tell me the solution... Novidate syrup Zinc day syrup Ors enterogermina ampoule
Female | 3 months
Diarrhea in infants can result from various factors, including infections or dietary changes. It's essential to maintain hydration with oral rehydration solutions, as they help replenish lost fluids and electrolytes. The medications prescribed, like Novidate and zinc, aim to support recovery. If you don’t see improvement soon, or if your baby shows signs of dehydration (such as reduced urine output or lethargy), please consult your pediatrician again for further evaluation and care.

How can I make my son reduce screen time
Male | 17
To cut your son’s screen time, you start with setting clear rules on its use. Specify the hours you allow your child to watch TV or play computer games, and give preference to such choices as spending time in the open air or reading. Warning signs of screen dependence may be giving attention difficulties in class, sleep disturbances at night, and irascibility. Try to clarify these worries by being frank and direct. Ask him to recommend some creative activities that he might enjoy doing offline. Should these be some issues that are still persisting in spite of your kinds of efforts, you can deal with this situation with the help of a doctor who can give you advice personalized for your kid. This expert could work out a plan for his general wellness while dealing with his screen habits in a moderate manner.

I doubt my baby swallowed a piece of glass
Male | 1
Glass in the mouth is a serious thing. You need to watch your baby closely. Glass can scratch or cut their insides. Look for choking, drooling, and discomfort. If their tummy hurts or they have trouble breathing, that's not good. Take them to see a doctor right away in these cases.

Female | 4
Fevers in kids are typically caused by infections such as colds or the flu. Below are some possible symptoms that may also occur such as chills, headache, and body aches. To help her feel better, make sure she drinks plenty of fluids and gets lots of rest, and you can give her children acetaminophen or ibuprofen to reduce the fever. However, it is vital to monitor her condition, and if the fever persists or other symptoms appear, it is better to consult a pediatrician.

My name Tulsi my sister have pregnant and she got ultrasound and result is Normal but one problem mcdk in baby kidney
Female | 28
The doctor saw in an ultrasound that it had a Multicystic Dysplastic Kidney (MCDK). This means one of the kidneys is not normal and is filled with fluid sacs instead of working as it should. Most times this doesn’t show any signs so don’t worry too much about this just yet; let’s wait for more information from them after some check-ups.

Which supplement is good to grow height after 16 in like 9-10 months??
Female | 17
You're considering height. Bones halt growth past age 16, so supplements cannot increase stature. Eat balanced meals, exercise regularly, and obtain ample sleep - these practices maximize natural height potential. If worried, discuss it with a medical professional. Maintain healthy habits.

My baby 1month old ise flu hai Kya Dena chaiye plz suggest me
Female | 1mont
Aapka chhota baccha agar thoda beemar mehsoos kar raha hai, toh sabse pehle unke symptoms par dhyaan deejiyega, jaise ki khaansi, zukhaam, ya bukhar. Aksar, yeh symptoms virus ke infection se hote hain. Aise mein, hydration bahut zaroori hai, isliye unhe zyada paani ya doodh pilate rahen. Thande ya garam bhap lene se bhi relif mil sakta hai. Lekin, agar symptoms severe ho ya lambey samay tak chale, toh doctor se sampark karna zaroori hai. Sirf ek pediatrician hi behtar guidance de sakte hain.

My baby is always tilting her head to the right
Female | 3 months old
Your baby could have torticollis. Their head tilts to one side. It may happen because of tight muscles or how they were in the womb. Signs are a tilted head and trouble turning it. A pediatrician may show you special exercises to help. But in very bad cases, they might need a helmet or neck brace.

Female | 2
Your daughter is experiencing symptoms commonly associated with respiratory infections, such as chest congestion, cough, and a cold. These can be caused by viruses, allergies, or irritants in the environment. To alleviate her discomfort, consider using a humidifier, warm fluids, and over-the-counter medications like expectorants or antihistamines, which can help in easing congestion. However, if her symptoms persist or worsen, it is essential to consult a pediatrician for a thorough evaluation and tailored care.

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 Daughter is suffering from High cough and cold and fever also . I am giving Alex junior for cough and cold.
Female | 4
High cough, cold, and fever are common symptoms often caused by viral infections. Over-the-counter medications like Alex Junior can help ease discomfort, and ensure she stays hydrated and gets plenty of rest. Observe her symptoms closely; if the fever persists for more than a couple of days, or if she seems unusually lethargic or has difficulty breathing, it’s important to consult a Pediatrician. They can provide a thorough evaluation and guide you on the best treatment to help her feel better.

Female | 2
Grinding teeth during sleep is quite common for kids; it's called bruxism. Causes range from stress to misaligned teeth. Often, it goes away naturally as they grow up. However, if persisting, consulting a dentist proves wise. They may recommend a mouthguard to safeguard teeth and prevent grinding.

the patient in hospital is a young girl and doctor wants to take her C.T. scan but she is crying too much and it difficult to control her in that condition what would doctor do
Female | 6
Crying is normal when frightened. To make the girl calmer, speak softly, give comfort, and explain the scans like taking a picture inside her body. Ask her parent to hold her hand or be close while it happens. This might help her feel safer. Giving her a favorite toy or music could also distract her from the scan's happenings.

Hello doctor my 9month old baby got fever. I gave him headbath after that he got fever why? No other symptoms. He is active normal
Male | 0
Babies sometimes experience a mild temperature increase after a headbath. This is normal, caused by their body cooling down slightly. If your baby seems active and well otherwise, there's typically no cause for concern. However, ensure they drink enough fluids and dress them warmly. Consult a pediatrician if the fever continues or worsens.

Male | 7
It seems he may have a serious condition causing the fever and weakness. The glucose given by the doctor was likely to provide energy. Not eating for 7 days is quite concerning. It's important to take him back to the doctor for further evaluation and treatment. Meanwhile, ensure he stays hydrated and gets plenty of rest.

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.

I am 8 years old male, and my penis is not opened, is it necessery to open it, will it cause any problem earlier.
Male | 8
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin cannot be easily retracted. This is common in young boys. Often, it resolves naturally as you grow. It's usually not a concern unless it causes pain, inflammation, or difficulty with hygiene. Maintaining cleanliness is important. I recommend talking to a pediatrician for personalized guidance. They can assess if any treatment is necessary and offer the best options.
