It seems like your little one might have caught a cold. This causes the body to work hard, making the hands and feet feel cold. However, we can help! Try massaging his hands and feet gently. Or, use warm socks to keep them comfortable. Make sure he rests and stays snug.

I understand your concern about your son's health. Since he has been suffering from typhoid fever for 15 days and is not improving despite medication, it's advisable to follow your doctor's advice for hospital admission. Hospitalization will ensure he receives proper monitoring, intravenous fluids, and medications to fight the infection effectively. Please continue to follow the guidance of the pediatrician or the specialist managing his case.

Hi doctor. My baby gets cold often while ac is on but if I switch it off he sweats so much and never sleeps. He starts crying. I don’t know what to do . Please help. Thank you.
Male | 1
The situation with your baby seems to involve regulating body heat. With AC on, your little one feels cold. Without AC, they get sweaty. This happens because babies' sweat glands aren't fully developed yet. So their bodies struggle to control their temperature. To help, dress your baby in layers that are easy to remove. Keep the room around 68-72°F. A small fan can gently circulate air without making it too breezy or cold. These simple adjustments should help your baby stay comfortable and sleep soundly.

My brother is 8 years old and he is 25 kg. He take 10mg Loratadine everyday and it has been 8 days since he started taking it. Today he accidentally took 20 mg. First time he took it was 3 hours ago and second time was 40 minutes ago. What can we do? Is it dangerous? We don’t have availability for doctor right now.
Male | 8
Accidentally taking a higher dose of Loratadine can cause symptoms like drowsiness, headache, or fast heartbeat, especially in children. Since your brother took 20 mg instead of 10 mg, it's important to monitor him closely for any unusual symptoms. Try to keep him calm and hydrated. If you notice severe symptoms or you're concerned, please seek immediate medical advice from a pediatrician or visit the nearest hospital for evaluation and guidance.

My daughter aged 6 yrs 10 months .She is suffering from pain in mid of chest everyday after dinner.sometimes she feels some burning in throat We are giving her antacids likeRantac, sucralfate,Gelusuil.But no relief.What can we do?
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.

When babies act fussy, they don't want to eat, be held, or put down and want to sleep, there could be many reasons for this. Some common ones are teething pain, feeling unwell, or needing extra cuddles and love. Try gently comforting your baby. Offer soothing activities, and watch for any other signs of illness. If the symptoms don't go away or get worse, it's a good idea to get help from a pediatrician.

My child has fever since night, more than 100, please suggest medicine for it.
Male | 3.5 month
Your child's fever is concerning. Fevers usually happen when the body fights infections, like colds or flu. To lower fever and improve comfort, give acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Ensure they drink water frequently. Let them rest. Use a light blanket to maintain coolness. However, if the fever doesn't improve or worsen, it's crucial to visit a pediatrician immediately.

Kids often refuse food, making parents worry. Your son's lack of appetite could stem from several factors: stress, illness, digestive issues. Ensure he drinks enough water and rests well. If poor appetite persists, consult your doctor. That said, temporary disinterest in eating is normal for children.

Female | 1
A 1-year-old might have watery stools for various reasons. It's unlikely related to birth control. It could be a stomach bug or something they ate. Watch for signs of dehydration: dry mouth, no tears when crying. Give your baby more fluids. If watery stools persist, consult your child's 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.

Female | 4
Your daughter and your pet have been vaccinated so the chances of a serious infection are low. Watch out for any redness, swelling, or pain in the scratch. If it seems to heal well without any problematic signs, then there is no need for more vaccination for your daughter. Make sure that the wound is kept clean and observe any changes.
