Answered on 24th June '24
Babies double their weight by six months, so it's good you pay attention. If yours isn't gaining weight properly, reasons could include insufficient intake, medical issues, or natural smallness. Rather than calculating solo, discuss with the pediatrician - they'll identify the actual cause and recommend ideal steps for your little one's progress.

Female | 44
Your daughter's chest discomfort and throat burning after dinner are concerning. These could indicate acid reflux, when stomach acid rises into the esophagus. Sometimes, antacids aren't enough. Try smaller meals, avoid spicy/acidic foods. Also, elevate her bed's headrest. This may reduce symptoms. If issues persist, consult a cardiologist. They can recommend treatments or evaluate further.

Good morning sir/madam Penta vallent vaccine by mistake injected hand 0.01 ml in my baby any problem please tell me
Female | 31
It's okay if a small amount of the five-dose vaccine was given to your baby’s hand by mistake. The area may become red, swollen, or painful where the injection was made – this should disappear by itself. Keep an eye on it and if there are any strange changes or if you are worried at all contact a pediatrician.

Babies can hold up their necks around two months old. By four months they do it better, no struggle. If the baby has trouble with neck muscles, it's a sign of weakness.

3 yrs girl having high fever what should we do
Female | 3
A high fever in a small kid can be concerning. Infections frequently cause fevers. Find out if she has other signs like coughing, runny nose, or belly pain too. Give her the proper dose of fever medicine meant for children, for example, acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Ensure she stays hydrated by drinking plenty of liquids. If the fever persists or she seems extremely ill, don't delay - reach out to a pediatrician.

Baby very unsettled not acting as he usually does / a lot of congestion in nose, crying more than usual and not passing as much poo as usual today
Male | 19 days
Your infant is suffering from either a cold or a slight infection. The stuffiness in their nose may obstruct breathing, thus causing more frequent crying spells. Such a condition can also bring about restlessness. Babies tend to have fewer bowel movements when they have a cold. Ensure that they take enough fluids and get additional sleep. You can relieve the congestion by using a nasal saline spray. However, should these signs continue or worsen, it is imperative to consult a pediatrician.

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.

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.

If your kid drinks much more water; fatigue overwhelms them. Significant ketones appear in their urine, despite normal blood sugar. Heightened ketones aren't ideal; it could indicate diabetes. The disease causes thirst and exhaustion. Ensure your child stays hydrated. Consult a doctor about potential diabetes.
